EFKA® SL 3288

Increase slip, surface smoothness and gloss

EFKA SL 3288 is an organically modified polysiloxane additive designed to improve slip, levelling, surface smoothness and ‘soft-touch’ effect in high gloss coatings. It has a minimal effect on foam stabilization and intercoat adhesion. Due to its excellent compatibility properties, it is very suitable for use in high-gloss clear coatings without causing haze.

EFKA SL 3288 is recommended for wood finishes, industrial coatings (epoxy, PUR), and UV curable applications.
