Dow DOWSIL BY 11-026 Silicone – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of DOWSIL BY 11-026 Silicone in formulations?

A: DOWSIL BY 11-026 Silicone is a silicone-based additive designed primarily to provide surface modification, including improved slip, mar resistance, and substrate wetting in coatings, inks, and adhesives.


Q2: Is DOWSIL BY 11-026 Silicone compatible with waterborne systems?

A: Yes, it is formulated to be compatible with both solvent-borne and waterborne systems, though optimal performance may require evaluation under specific formulation conditions and pH ranges.


Q3: How should DOWSIL BY 11-026 Silicone be incorporated into a formulation?

A: It is typically added during the let-down or post-addition stage under moderate agitation. Pre-dilution with a compatible carrier solvent or resin solution may improve dispersion uniformity, especially in high-solids or viscous systems.


Q4: Does DOWSIL BY 11-026 Silicone affect cure chemistry or film formation?

A: It is generally non-reactive and does not interfere with common crosslinking mechanisms such as urethane, acrylic, or epoxy curing. However, compatibility testing is recommended when used with highly sensitive catalysts or low-energy cure systems.
