Dow DOWSIL PH-1560 GLOSSY FLUID – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of DOWSIL PH-1560 GLOSSY FLUID in coating and ink formulations?

A: DOWSIL PH-1560 GLOSSY FLUID is a silicone-based additive designed to enhance surface gloss, improve leveling, and reduce surface defects such as orange peel or mottling in solventborne and high-solids coatings, inks, and overprint varnishes.


Q2: Is this product compatible with UV-curable systems?

A: Yes, DOWSIL PH-1560 GLOSSY FLUID is generally compatible with UV-curable acrylate systems; however, compatibility and performance should be verified in the final formulation due to potential interactions with photoinitiators or reactive diluents.


Q3: How should DOWSIL PH-1560 GLOSSY FLUID be incorporated into a formulation?

A: It is typically added during the let-down stage under moderate agitation. Pre-dilution with a compatible solvent may aid dispersion. Avoid high-shear mixing that could degrade silicone performance or induce foam.


Q4: Does this additive affect substrate adhesion or recoatability?

A: When used within recommended dosage ranges, DOWSIL PH-1560 GLOSSY FLUID generally does not impair adhesion to common substrates or interfere with recoatability—though testing under actual application conditions is advised, especially on low-energy surfaces.
