    The document discusses polysiloxane chemistry and functions. It notes that increasing the methyl group makes silicone stronger. Di-methyl groups help reduce surface tension and increase slip. Polysiloxanes are used for wetting, leveling, anti-cratering, surface slip, de-foaming, and hammertone effects depending on the number of monomers. They can be modified organically or with reactive groups. Compatibility, foaming, and limitations should be checked. Polysiloxanes should be added at low shear during letdown to optimize performance.

    Polysiloxane

    Chemistry & Function


    Presented by
    Arindam Bhattacharya
    Basic

    • With increase of methyl group the silicone


    become strong.
    • Di-methyl group helps to
    A. Reduce the surface tension
    B. Increase surface slip
    Functions

    • Wetting & Levelling • n= 2-27


    • Anti cratering • n= 28-50
    • Surface slip • n= 45-230
    • De-foaming • n= 380-500
    • Hammertone • n= 1800-2900
    Modification
    • Organic Modification • Reactive group modification
    A. Polyether A. Acrylic
    B. Aralkyl B. Carboxilic Acid
    C. Polyester C. Epoxy
    D. Hydroxyl.
    Checklist
    • Check compatibility on glass plate
    • Check hot box study
    • Check Foaming
    • If possible do a spray
    Limitations
    • Polyether modified Silicone are not
    compatible above 150°C
    • Aralkyl / Polyester modification is thermo
    stable up to 210°C
    • Never add poly-siloxane on millbase, act as a
    foam stabiliser and compete with W/D
    additive
    • Incorporate the material at low shear on
    letdown/ post-addition.
    Optimization
