SiliXan® M 400 is methacrylate modified polymer based on SiO2 /TiO2 is used as unsaturated binder for the formulation of scratch resistant UV coatings. Additive for commercial acrylate- or methacrylate based coating formulations, inks or binder. This binder is preferably used for UV-curing formulation, but also use for peroxidic thermal curing is possible. UV-Protection-Additive.

The shelf life of the product is 6 months, provided the original container is protected from light and stored tightly closed at +5 to +25°C. Opened containers should be processed shortly. The expiry date of each batch appears on the product label. Storage beyond the indicated period does not necessarily mean that the product is useless. However, in this case a review of the properties for the respective application is essential for reasons of quality assurance.

- Technical Details
Solubility / thinnability :. SiliXan M 400 is dilutable in polar solvents like alcohols, esters, ether esters or ketones. However, the binder is insoluble in water, xylene, toluene or benzine. The compatibility with other acrylate monomers or oligomers has to be pretested. A list of compatible acrylates is available on request.
