Jawaban singkat: slip additives should be chosen by what the finished surface needs to do after application, not only by whether the formula is a coating or an ink. If the main target is cleaner release in stacked films, better anti-blocking, lower friction, drier hand feel, or tougher scratch and abrasion handling, the first additive shortlist should start with a slip-focused route rather than with a wetting, leveling, or anti-graffiti additive.
This page is intentionally different from the already-live Pelapis dan Aditif Tinta CHLUMICRYL® overview and the current wetting, leveling, fluorine-surfactant, anti-graffiti, UV-varnish-surface-control, UV-coating-flow-leveling, and defoamer pages. The buyer question here is narrower: which additive route should enter the first sample round when the cured film needs better slip, anti-blocking, hand feel, or abrasion resistance?
Why slip additives deserve their own decision page
In practical coatings and inks work, buyers usually separate four closely related but not identical targets:
- Slip and lower friction: the surface should move, stack, or rub more cleanly.
- Anti-blocking or anti-sticking: coated layers should separate more reliably after contact or storage.
- Hand feel and dry touch: the surface should feel smoother, drier, or more premium in use.
- Scratch and abrasion resistance: the film should better survive handling after cure.
Those targets often appear together, but they do not always point to the same first additive route. Longchang’s current product pages already show a useful split between a water-based anti-sticking microemulsion route, A broad dry-feel and anti-blocking route, A mineral-oil-soluble lubrication route, and a scratch-resistant leveling route for cured resin films. That makes slip additives a commercially useful supporting topic instead of another generic surface-additives article.
When a slip additive should be chosen before other additive types
| Observed buyer problem | Best first additive direction | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Blocking, sticking, rub-marking, or high friction in the cured film | Slip additive | The target is final-surface handling and low-friction behavior |
| Dry-feel upgrade or smoother tactile surface without changing the whole resin route | Slip additive | The decision is being driven by surface feel and handling, not only by application defects |
| Poor spreading, pullback, or weak substrate coverage | Wetting additive | The first problem is how the liquid reaches the substrate |
| Orange peel, rough flow-out, or gloss inconsistency after coverage is already stable | Leveling additive | The main issue is laydown and appearance, not cured-film friction |
| Marker cleanability, stain release, or long-term easy-clean performance | Aditif anti grafiti | Easy-clean and graffiti resistance are a different end-use decision from ordinary slip |
| Persistent crater pressure, unusual surface-tension tuning, or slip plus stronger fluorine-style surface control | Surfaktan fluorin | The system needs a narrower surface-control route than ordinary slip improvement alone |
How buyers should choose the first slip-additive route
| System or target | Best first route | Mengapa itu termasuk lebih awal |
|---|---|---|
| Water-based coating or ink that needs anti-sticking, lower coefficient of friction, better hand feel, and abrasion resistance | CHLUMIFE® 3482 / 3482X | Longchang directly positions it as a water-based anti-sticking and hand-feel route built on a microemulsified ultra-high-molecular-weight organosilicon system |
| Broad system where dry feel, anti-blocking, smoothness, scratch resistance, and gloss all matter together | CHLUMIFE® 3166 | Longchang supports it around dry feel, lower surface tension, substrate wettability, anti-blocking, scratch resistance, leveling, and gloss |
| Solvent-side route needing lubrication, release, wear resistance, and anti-adhesion behavior | CHLUMIFE® 1206 | Longchang directly positions it as a mineral-oil-soluble route with lubricity, wear resistance, defoaming, anti-sticking, and cured-film release behavior |
| Cured resin film that mainly needs stronger abrasion and scratch resistance with leveling support | CHLUMIFE® 3307X | Longchang explicitly positions it for abrasion and scratch resistance after film formation, while also supporting leveling and surface smoothness |
Longchang-supported slip-additive routes to shortlist first
1. CHLUMIFE® 3482 / 3482X when the project is water-based and sticking is the main pain point
CHLUMIFE® 3482 / 3482X is one of the clearest first routes in this branch. Longchang positions it as an organic silicone slip and abrasion-resistant additive, A water-based coating anti-sticking agent, and a water-based ink hand-feel agent. The product page says it uses the company’s microencapsulation emulsification technology to emulsify ultra-high-molecular-weight organosilicon polymers into nanoscale microemulsions while maintaining stability at high dilution ratios.
Longchang further supports it with practical buyer-facing effects: it can significantly reduce the coefficient of friction of coatings, prevent sticking, and improve slip feel dan abrasion resistance. The same page also ties it to fast defoaming, anti-shrinkage, and better pigment wetting and dispersion, with good compatibility in acrylic, polyurethane, and epoxy water-based resin systems.
- Best fit: water-based coatings and water-based inks where low friction and anti-sticking matter first
- Suggested addition range: 0.05% to 1.0% of total formulation
- Important processing note: Longchang says to dilute it first with deionized water and explicitly says not to dilute with ethanol or other alcoholic solvents
- Important caution: Longchang notes that in low-polarity systems or high-gloss varnishes, excessive use may cause pinholes, reduce gloss, or affect transparency
2. CHLUMIFE® 3166 when dry feel and anti-blocking matter across a broader system window
CHLUMIFE® 3166 is the more general-purpose route in this shortlist. Longchang describes it as an additive used to control the surface tension of liquid-phase materials and says its most notable feature is excellent dry feel. The supported effects also include reducing system surface tension, improving substrate wettability, increasing surface smoothness, improving scratch resistance dan anti-blocking, improving leveling, enhancing kilap, and helping prevent Bénard vortices.
Commercially, this matters because some buyers are not solving only a friction problem. They also need the cured film to feel drier, look cleaner, and stack better without moving immediately into a narrower anti-graffiti or fluorine-surfactant route. Longchang’s coating-system table also shows a broad applicable window across UV, solvent, baking-finish, Dan Berbahan dasar air systems.
- Best fit: broad coatings or inks where dry touch, anti-blocking, smoothness, and gloss need to improve together
- Suggested addition range: 0.05% to 1.0% of total formulation
- Important caution: Longchang notes that excessive use may lead to shrinkage or affect intercoat adhesion, especially on less polar systems
3. CHLUMIFE® 1206 when the route is solvent-side and the buyer needs lubrication plus release behavior
CHLUMIFE® 1206 gives a different selection logic. Longchang says it is soluble in mineral oil in any proportion and supports it with excellent lubricity, oil solubility, wear resistance, penghilang busa, Dan anti-sticking. The same page also states that adding a small amount can improve smoothness, wear resistance, anti-adhesion, release, and even anti-graffiti behavior of the cured film.
This makes 1206 commercially useful when the decision is not mainly about a water-based anti-blocking emulsion, but about a more lubrication-led solvent-side route where release and cured-film handling matter.
- Best fit: solvent-side systems where lubrication, release, anti-adhesion, and wear resistance need to move together
- Suggested addition range: 0.1% to 1.0% of total formulation
- Important caution: Longchang notes that excessive use may affect recoating and warns that in highly polar systems the anti-sticking effect may weaken
4. CHLUMIFE® 3307X when the film already forms but still does not handle abrasion well enough
CHLUMIFE® 3307X is the sharper route when the buyer is judging the cured resin film itself. Longchang explicitly says it is designed to improve abrasion resistance dan scratch resistance after film formation. The page also supports it with surface-tension control, leveling, and better surface smoothness dan kilap.
That makes 3307X a cleaner first route when the main complaint is not only that the film blocks or feels tacky, but that it marks or wears too easily after cure. Longchang’s application recommendation also includes a pre-dilution note before use.
- Best fit: cured-film handling problems where scratch and abrasion resistance are the main KPIs
- Suggested addition range: 0.1% to 1.0% of total formulation
- Important processing note: Longchang recommends diluting it to 12.5% with solvent before use
How buyers should narrow the shortlist
Start with the system boundary first
A water-based anti-sticking problem should not start with the same first additive trial as a solvent-side lubrication or release problem. Longchang’s own product structure already separates those routes clearly enough to keep the first sample round focused.
Do not confuse anti-blocking with easy-clean
A coating can need cleaner stacking without needing full anti-graffiti or easy-clean performance. When the real KPI is marker release, stain resistance, or maintenance behavior, move earlier to the anti-graffiti branch instead of forcing a slip additive to do a different job.
Separate friction reduction from wetting correction
If the liquid still beads, pulls back, or covers the substrate poorly, a slip additive may not fix the real first bottleneck. That is when the better first move is a wetting additive.
Keep cured-film durability visible
Some projects only need lower friction. Others need lower friction plus scratch resistance and cleaner appearance. That is why CHLUMIFE® 3166 and 3307X should not be treated as interchangeable with a simpler anti-sticking emulsion route.
Use a short first screen
For many buyers, the cleanest first screen is one route for water-based anti-sticking, one route for broad dry-feel and anti-blocking improvement, and one route for either solvent-side lubrication or scratch-resistant cured-film performance, depending on which failure matters most.

PERTANYAAN YANG SERING DIAJUKAN
When is a slip additive a better fit than an anti-graffiti additive?
A slip additive is the better fit when the buyer mainly needs lower friction, cleaner stacking, anti-blocking, hand feel, or better abrasion handling. An anti-graffiti additive becomes the better fit when easy-clean, stain release, or marker-wipe performance is the real KPI.
Which Longchang route is more relevant for water-based coatings or inks that are sticking or blocking?
CHLUMIFE® 3482 / 3482X deserves early review because Longchang directly positions it as a water-based anti-sticking and hand-feel route that can reduce friction and improve abrasion resistance.
Which route is better when the buyer wants a drier feel and anti-blocking across a wider system window?
CHLUMIFE® 3166 is the stronger first comparison point because Longchang supports it with dry feel, anti-blocking, scratch resistance, leveling, gloss, and a broader applicable system range.
Why would a buyer choose CHLUMIFE® 1206 instead of a water-based microemulsion route?
Because 1206 is positioned more around mineral-oil-soluble lubricity, release, anti-adhesion, and wear resistance in solvent-side systems, which is a different decision path from a water-based anti-sticking emulsion.
What if the film looks smooth enough but still scratches too easily after cure?
That is where CHLUMIFE® 3307X becomes commercially useful, because Longchang explicitly positions it to improve abrasion and scratch resistance after film formation while still supporting leveling and surface smoothness.
Need help narrowing the slip-additive shortlist?
If your coating or ink project is being limited by blocking, high friction, weak hand feel, or poor abrasion handling, start by separating whether the job is water-based anti-sticking, broad dry-feel and anti-blocking improvement, solvent-side lubrication, or cured-film scratch resistance. That usually gives a faster buying path than treating all low-friction additives as the same chemistry decision.
