DOWSIL™ 8005 Waterborne Resin is an elastomeric siloxane emulsion used as a binder that provides fast film forming with high flexibility and heat stability in high-temperature coating applications. DOWSIL™ 8005 Waterborne Resin offers high flexibility, stability in high temperatures, low VOC formulation, elastomeric properties and fast track-free film. Recommended use in the protection of metal and glass, where high elasticity is required and can be formulated as a protective clearcoat, and/or with pigments, to improve thermal resistance and insulative properties of a coating.

DOWSIL 18 ADDITIVE is a silicone-based additive designed to enhance slip and mar resistance in solvent-based coatings, while also providing mar resistance in water-based coatings and inks. It contains no solvents and is composed of a non-reactive high-molecular-weight polydimethyl siloxane dispersion.

DOWSIL™ 8032 Additive is a polyether-modified silicone fluid, 100% active, designed to improve leveling in various coatings. It provides hydrophilicity with a low water contact angle, making it suitable for use in water-based, solvent-based, or UV-curable paints, inks, and coatings.

DOWSIL™ 33 Additive is a waterborne silicone elastomer suspension that provides tactile properties to coatings and imparts a soft feel to waterborne plastic coatings. It offers a smooth finish to polyacrylic and polyurethane wood varnishes and is formulated as a matting agent in aqueous topcoat finishes for natural leather applications, including automotive, home, and fashion.
