Wacker SILRES MP 85 L Silicone Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of SILRES MP 85 L in coating and ink formulations?

A: SILRES MP 85 L is a methyl-phenyl silicone resin designed to enhance surface properties—particularly slip, mar resistance, and substrate wetting—while maintaining compatibility with organic polymer systems. It functions as a surface modifier that migrates to the film-air interface during drying or curing.


Q2: Is SILRES MP 85 L compatible with common solvent-based and high-solids resin systems?

A: Yes—it demonstrates broad compatibility with acrylics, polyurethanes, alkyds, and melamine-formaldehyde resins in solvent-borne systems. Compatibility in water-based systems may require evaluation with specific emulsifiers or co-solvents, as its hydrophobic nature necessitates careful formulation design.


Q3: How does SILRES MP 85 L differ from reactive silicone additives or silicone oils?

A: Unlike silicone oils or reactive silanes, SILRES MP 85 L is a non-volatile, thermally stable silicone resin with low surface energy and no reactive functional groups. It provides persistent surface effects without crosslinking into the binder matrix, offering easier dosage control and reduced risk of intercoat adhesion issues.


Q4: What are typical handling and storage recommendations for this product?

A: Store in tightly sealed original containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid freezing. Due to its low volatility, it poses minimal inhalation risk under normal handling conditions, but standard industrial hygiene practices—including adequate ventilation and avoidance of prolonged skin contact—are recommended.
