Features Of Dow DOWSIL 5-7222 LF Silicone Emulsion

  1. Low-foaming formulation designed for high-shear processing and continuous industrial operations.

  2. Excellent compatibility with water-based systems, including acrylics, vinyl acetate copolymers, and cellulose derivatives.

  3. Provides superior surface slip, mar resistance, and substrate wetting without compromising film integrity.

  4. Non-ionic, APEO-free emulsion compliant with major global regulatory frameworks for sustainable manufacturing.

  5. Stable across a broad pH range (pH 4–10) and tolerant to moderate electrolyte concentrations.

Typical Applications Of Dow DOWSIL 5-7222 LF Silicone Emulsion

  1. Architectural coatings for enhanced leveling and reduced roller spatter in interior and exterior paints.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings requiring improved substrate adhesion and gloss uniformity.

  3. Wood coatings where low surface tension aids penetration and minimizes foam in spray and dip applications.

  4. Textile finishing agents for soft handle, hydrophobicity, and anti-blocking performance.

  5. Adhesives and sealants formulations seeking improved flow, deaeration, and interfacial compatibility.
