Manta WS111-P is a reactive poly-methyl hydrogen hydroxy siloxane emulsion, formulated specifically as a premium sizing and release agent for the paper and corrugated packaging industry.
Under the combined action of a catalyst and high thermal energy during the paper machine drying process, the active siloxane molecules undergo a rapid dehydrocondensation cross-linking reaction. This process permanently bonds a robust, highly hydrophobic polysiloxane network to the cellulosic fibers, forcing water to bead up and roll off (the lotus effect) while simultaneously enhancing surface gloss.
Features
- Exceptional Hydrophobicity: Imparts superior liquid water hold-out and moisture resistance to paper substrates, protecting the structural integrity of corrugated boards in high-humidity environments.
- Excellent Release Properties: Functions as a premium release coating, imparting essential non-stick characteristics for specialty papers.
- High Gloss Finish: Enhances the aesthetic appeal of the paper with a smooth, glossy surface without greasy residues.
