Features Of Dow DOWSIL 55 Additive Leveling Agent

  1. Enhances surface uniformity and eliminates orange peel in silicone-based coatings and sealants.

  2. Improves flow and leveling without compromising pot life or cure kinetics.

  3. Compatible with both addition-cure and condensation-cure silicone systems.

  4. Reduces surface tension effectively at low addition levels (typically 0.1–0.5 wt%).

  5. Non-volatile and thermally stable up to 200 °C, supporting high-temperature processing.

Typical Applications Of Dow DOWSIL 55 Additive Leveling Agent

  1. Automotive silicone RTV gaskets and under-hood sealing compounds.

  2. Architectural silicone sealants for façade and glazing systems.

  3. Electronics encapsulants and conformal coatings requiring defect-free surfaces.

  4. Industrial coatings for metal and plastic substrates where gloss and smoothness are critical.

  5. Medical-grade liquid silicone rubber (LSR) formulations for precision molded parts.
