- Performance Benefits
ML surface treatments utilize a hydrophobic siloxane with an embedded polar segment that disrupts particle-particle interaction. The combination of alkyl and polyethylene glycol functional groups are balanced to maximize wetting in non-polar oils.; High pigment loading; Excellent pigment wetting in oils; Low oil absorption; Water repellency; Low viscosity dispersions; Improved compressibility; Maximizes color intensity
