FAQs:
Title
DOWSIL™ 11 Additive contains alkoxy and alkyl functional groups on siloxane, which improve the dispersion of inorganic fillers such as antimony trioxide (ATO), magnesium hydroxide (MDH), and aluminum hydroxide (ATH) into organic polymers like resin, plastic, and rubber .
It can transform hydrophilic inorganic powders, fillers, or substrates to hydrophobic, reducing water absorption and improving the material's overall performance .
The additive provides improved de-agglomeration and imparts hydrophobicity to the inorganic fillers, enhancing their performance in polymer matrices
