Q1: What is the primary function of DOWSIL Dry Seal E Silicone in packaging applications?
A: DOWSIL Dry Seal E Silicone is a food-contact-approved silicone emulsion designed to enhance dry-seal performance in paper and board packaging—particularly for heat-sealable laminates used in pouches, sachets, and flexible food packaging. It improves seal integrity, hot-tack strength, and resistance to delamination under thermal and mechanical stress.
Q2: Is DOWSIL Dry Seal E Silicone suitable for direct food contact applications?
A: Yes, it is formulated and tested to comply with global food-contact regulations, including FDA 21 CFR §175.105 and EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, when used as intended and within recommended application levels. Final compliance depends on the full formulation and processing conditions.
Q3: How is DOWSIL Dry Seal E Silicone typically applied to substrates?
A: It is commonly applied via roll coating, gravure, or spray methods onto paper, paperboard, or metallized films—either inline during converting or as a pre-treatment step. Optimal performance is achieved when dried thoroughly prior to lamination or sealing.
Q4: Can DOWSIL Dry Seal E Silicone be used in combination with other barrier coatings?
A: Yes, it is compatible with common water-based barrier coatings such as PVdC-free acrylics, starch derivatives, and certain polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) systems. Compatibility testing under actual production conditions is recommended to ensure adhesion and functional performance.
