The amount of Dow Corning additive required to achieve a particular benefit depends on the type of formulation, the solvent it contains, the resin system and total system solids. Generally, Dow Corning additives are effective at the concentra-tionsnotedinTable2.Sinceadvantages do not increase proportionally, avoid using excessive amounts. Dow Corning additives are usually added during grind, let-downorarepost-added.However,somemaybeadded during any processing stage.SeeTable2foradditional information.
