Elevate Your Coating Performance: Introducing IOTA 170 – The Ultimate Acrylate-Modified Silicone Oil
In the competitive world of industrial coatings and radiation-cured systems, achieving the perfect balance between surface quality, application ease, and durability can be challenging. Mingyi Silicone Co., Ltd. is proud to introduce IOTA 170, a high-performance side-chain acrylate-modified silicone oil designed to set a new standard for your formulations.
IOTA 170 is a 100% active,grey-green transparent liquid that seamlessly integrates into modern coating technologies. Its unique polymeric structure offers a multifunctional solution that goes beyond traditional silicone additives.
Why Choose IOTA 170 for Your Formulations?
Our product excels in enhancing the application and aesthetic properties of your coatings. It acts as a superior flow promoter, ensuring a smooth, even surface free from imperfections like craters or orange peel. Additionally, its exceptional de-aerating properties facilitate the rapid release of entrapped air during application, minimizing pinholes and bubbles for a flawless finish.
Formulators in the radiation-curing sector, especially those working with pigmented systems, will find IOTA 170 indispensable. It is designed to be efficiently crosslinkable, ensuring it becomes a permanent part of the coating matrix. This results in a significant boost in block resistance, preventing stacked printed materials from sticking together—a critical advantage for high-speed printing lines.
Furthermore, IOTA 170 enhances the final coating's resistance properties. It provides remarkable scratch and mar resistance, protecting the surface integrity. It also offers effective marker resistance, making it ideal for applications requiring writability and cleanability.
Versatile and Easy to Use
With a low viscosity of 60-150 cP and a refractive index of 1.4013-1.4106, IOTA 170 is straightforward to incorporate. We recommend pre-dilution with a suitable solvent or high-shear mixing for optimal dispersion. Its versatility spans across various printing methods:
Lithographic Inks: 0.1 – 1.5%
UV Printing Inks & Overprint Varnishes: 0.1 – 1.0%
Screen Printing Inks: 0.1 – 2.0%
Choose IOTA 170 to unlock a new level of performance, combining flow, surface protection, and processing efficiency in one advanced additive.
