JebChem 3378 – Polyether Modified Polysiloxane
JebChem 3378
JebChem 3378 is a polyether modified polysiloxane substrate-wetter with excellent slip properties, suitable for most solvent-based, water-based coatings and solvent-free systems.
With a 100% active content, it is effective even at low doses, making it highly cost-efficient. By greatly reducing the surface tension of the formulation, this product conducts substrate-wetting to provide a smooth and even paint flow. Its ability to significantly increase surface slip improves the resistance of the coating to scratch and water stains. It also displays low foam stability and has good anti-crater effects, further ensuring the quality of the spread of the coating or paint.

Conclusion
This experiment demonstrates the effects of using JebChem 3378 in a low PVC water-based paint compared against a standard paint solution. Figure 1 shows that incorporating 1% of JebChem3378 can successfully prevent the formation of water marks on the film, proving the remarkable slip and substrate-wetting qualities of this product.
