Uses

 

JebChem 3511 can help reduce coefficient of friction (CoF) and enhance slip and scratch resistance in waterborne formulations.

JebChem 3511 significantly reduces surface tension – acts on the film surface in clear coatings and overprint varnishes.

Benefits

 

Suitable for water-based systems

Excellent slip property

Improved scratch resistance

Table 1: Average COF value of slip agents

Table 1 shows the average COF value of JebChem slip agent additives and competitors in the market. JebChem 3511 provides the best performance among slip agents in the table. It has the lowest COF value, meaning JebChem 3511 offers better slip properties than the others.

Table 2: Formulation

Table 2 illustrates the formulation of the coating film with and without JebChem 3511 and Table 3 shows the COF values of both films. The COF value of the coating film incorporating 0.3% JebChem 3511 is less than half of the sample without the slip agent.

Table 3: Slip property

Lower COF value = Better slip property

Conclusion

Based on the test results, JebChem 3511 provides improved slip properties to water-based coatings and improves scratch resistance for clear coats and printing inks.
