Q1: What is the primary function of DOWSIL SM 7036 EX in coatings and inks?
A: DOWSIL SM 7036 EX is a silicone emulsion designed to provide surface modification benefits—such as improved slip, mar resistance, and substrate wetting—without significantly affecting gloss or intercoat adhesion in waterborne systems.
Q2: Is DOWSIL SM 7036 EX compatible with common water-based polymer systems?
A: Yes, it demonstrates good compatibility with acrylic, styrene-acrylic, vinyl acetate, and polyurethane dispersions. Compatibility should always be confirmed in the final formulation due to sensitivity to pH, electrolytes, and surfactant balance.
Q3: How should DOWSIL SM 7036 EX be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the let-down stage under low-shear conditions to avoid destabilizing the emulsion. Pre-dilution with water or a compatible solvent may improve uniform dispersion, especially in high-solids or viscous systems.
Q4: Does DOWSIL SM 7036 EX affect film formation or drying behavior?
A: At typical use levels, it does not interfere with film coalescence or air-drying kinetics. However, excessive addition may delay water evaporation or lead to surface migration issues, so dosage should be optimized for each system.
Q5: Can DOWSIL SM 7036 EX be used in applications requiring FDA compliance for indirect food contact?
A: This product is not pre-approved for food-contact applications. Formulators must conduct full regulatory evaluation—including extractables testing and compliance assessment—based on the final end-use and applicable jurisdictional requirements.
