Dow XIAMEETER MEM-1352 Silicone Emulsion – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of MEM-1352 in coating and ink formulations?

A: MEM-1352 is a non-ionic, anionic-stabilized silicone emulsion designed to provide surface leveling, substrate wetting, and foam control in water-based coatings, flexographic inks, and gravure inks. It helps reduce surface defects such as craters, orange peel, and pinholes while improving gloss uniformity and substrate adhesion.


Q2: Is MEM-1352 compatible with common water-based polymer systems?

A: Yes, MEM-1352 demonstrates broad compatibility with acrylic, styrene-acrylic, vinyl acetate, and polyurethane dispersions. It is formulated for stable incorporation into neutral to mildly alkaline systems (pH 6–9) and generally remains stable when added during the let-down stage of formulation.


Q3: How should MEM-1352 be incorporated into a formulation to ensure optimal performance?

A: MEM-1352 is typically added during the final let-down stage under moderate agitation. Pre-dilution with water or formulation water phase is recommended to facilitate uniform dispersion. Avoid high-shear mixing post-addition to prevent potential emulsion destabilization.


Q4: Does MEM-1352 affect the drying time or film formation of water-based systems?

A: MEM-1352 is not known to significantly retard drying or interfere with film coalescence in standard water-based systems when used at typical dosage levels. Its low volatility and non-volatile nature support consistent performance without disrupting the evaporation profile of the carrier medium.


Q5: What are the storage recommendations for MEM-1352?

A: Store in original, tightly sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 35 °C. Avoid freezing and prolonged exposure to temperatures above 40 °C. Protect from direct sunlight and contamination. When stored properly, shelf life is typically 12 months from date of manufacture.
