Devido à sua alta atividade superficial, o aditivo se acumula na superfície do revestimento, onde, devido à sua reatividade OH, ela pode ser integrada na rede de polímeros reagindo com ligantes adequados. Se os aditivos forem fixados na superfície do revestimento por meio de seu grupo reativo, as propriedades, causadas pelo uso do aditivo, serão mantidas por um longo período de tempo.

In a multitude of coating systems, SL-4749 increase the hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, which can significantly improve the water-and oil-repelling behavior. Moreover, it brings about a reduced dirt adhesion with a simultaneously increased easy-to-clean effect. The additive increases substrate wetting, leveling, surface slip, water resistance (blush resistance), anti-blocking properties and weather resistance. Therefore, we recommend that SL-4749 is initially evaluated in the formulation without using other surface additives. If additional leveling is required, leveling additives can be added in a second step. SL-4749 can also be used to improve anti-graffiti and tape release properties and organosilicone properties.
