Q1: What is the primary function of XIAMETER OFX-3667 in industrial formulations?
A: XIAMETER OFX-3667 is a non-reactive, low-viscosity silicone fluid designed primarily as a surface modifier and processing aid—providing improved slip, leveling, and substrate wetting in coatings, inks, adhesives, and sealants without interfering with cure chemistry or film integrity.
Q2: Is XIAMETER OFX-3667 compatible with water-based systems?
A: Yes, it is formulated to be dispersible in aqueous systems with appropriate surfactant assistance and is commonly used in waterborne coatings and architectural paints to enhance surface uniformity and reduce defects such as craters or orange peel.
Q3: How does XIAMETER OFX-3667 differ from reactive silicone additives?
A: Unlike reactive silicones that chemically bond into the polymer matrix, OFX-3667 remains physically blended and migrates to the air interface—delivering persistent surface effects while allowing for easier formulation adjustments and compatibility across diverse resin systems.
Q4: What are typical dosage levels for XIAMETER OFX-3667 in coating applications?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired performance, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight of total formulation—to achieve optimal surface enhancement without compromising intercoat adhesion or clarity.
Q5: Can XIAMETER OFX-3667 be used in food-contact or pharmaceutical-related applications?
A: XIAMETER OFX-3667 is not specifically manufactured or certified for direct food-contact or pharmaceutical use; customers requiring regulatory compliance for such applications should consult Dow’s technical support team for appropriate alternatives and documentation.
