IOTA170 Side Chain Acrylate Modified Silicone Oil: Solving the Problems of Anti-Touching and Flowing of UV Ink Coatings

1. The cross-linked modified silicone oil has been launched, balancing smoothness and long-term wear resistance.
The side chain acrylate modified silicone oil IOTA170, relying on the active structure of the side chain acrylate, participates in cross-linking polymerization during UV light curing. The organic silicone chain segments are firmly fixed in the coating network, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional silicone oil, which is prone to migration and short-term smoothness failure. The product has multiple functions such as defoaming, leveling, anti-sticking, anti-mark pen, and anti-scratching. A small amount of addition can improve the forming texture of the coating and the oil-based marker pen marks on the surface can be wiped off, achieving a simple anti-touching effect.


2. Key points for process usage, reducing the threshold of formula adjustment
The product is a low-viscosity light yellow transparent liquid, easy to disperse and mix. It is recommended to stir thoroughly before adding the raw material. The original liquid or pre-diluted solution should be added to the system. It is better to add during the grinding stage; in the later clear coat stage, it needs high shear dispersion to avoid agglomeration. The packaging specification is 25kg iron drums. During transportation and storage, keep sealed, away from heat sources, and avoid contact with strong oxidants.


3. Hotspot answers for customer inquiries
Q1: Is IOTA170 suitable for water-based UV systems?
A1: This product is designed to be compatible with solvent-free radiation curing systems. For water-based systems, it is recommended to conduct small-scale trials to evaluate compatibility first. It is not recommended to use directly in large quantities.
Q2: What adverse phenomena will occur if the addition is excessive?
A2: Beyond the recommended addition range, surface slippage will be high, and pinholes may occur. Some systems may affect the recoating performance. It is recommended to conduct gradient experiments starting from 0.1%.
Q3: Is this product a hazardous chemical?
A3: IOTA170 is not a hazardous chemical. Regular chemical storage and transportation management is sufficient.


4. Covering the printing and color paint tracks, enabling the upgrade of product quality
In screen printing, offset printing, UV gloss varnish, and UV paint scenarios, IOTA170 can simultaneously improve leveling defects, eliminate bubbles during curing, prevent re-adhesion of rolled materials during stacking, and improve the coating's abrasion resistance. In industrial coatings and printing materials that pursue high surface texture and anti-touching effects, as a multi-functional additive, it simplifies the formula, reduces the cumbersome debugging of multiple additives' compounding, and helps downstream products enhance market competitiveness.
