3 Table 1 offers Additive suggestions for use in a variety of delivery systems and resins. First, from the left-hand column, select the delivery system and resin you plan to use. Then, simply follow that row across to the column for the benefit you wish to achieve. In the box where the two intersect, you will find suggested additives for your application. Table 2 groups the additives by their primary benefit and describes their physical makeup, features, secondary benefits and Concentrations and BlendingThe amount of Dow Corning Additive required to achieve a particular benefit depends on the type of formulation, the solvent it contains, the resin system and total system solids. Generally, Dow Corning additives are effective at the concentra-tions noted in Table 2. Since advantages do not increase proportionally, avoid using excessive amounts.

4 Dow Corning additives are usually added during grind, let-down or are post-added. However, some may be added during any processing stage.
