Jawaban singkat: buyers developing soft-touch coatings usually get to a better first shortlist when they stop asking for one additive to solve everything and instead separate three different jobs. CHLUMIAG® 5005-60 should move first when the project is clearly berbasis air and the buyer wants a reactive hand-feel route that can stay more permanently fixed at the coating surface. CHLUMIFE® 3166 deserves the earlier screen when the team needs a broader dry-feel plus abrasion-balance route across UV, solvent, or water-based systems. CHLUMIFE® 3370 belongs earlier when the line is already UV or solvent-side, water-based compatibility is unnecessary, and the buyer wants a more feel-focused silicone route.
That is the commercially useful split. This page is not another generic slip-additive article and it is not a return to the older photoinitiator cluster. It is a new CHLUMICRYL® application page for coating teams building a soft-touch surface that still needs a realistic balance of tactile feel, mar or abrasion resistance, Dan kesesuaian sistem.
Why soft-touch coatings deserve their own additive page
Soft-touch coatings are usually judged by more than one KPI at the same time. The buyer may want a warmer or more premium hand feel, but the surface still has to survive handling, rub, and downstream conversion. In general industry practice, that usually means balancing a tactile target against mar resistance, stain resistance, abrasion resistance, or later recoat and print constraints.
Longchang sudah memiliki halaman aktif untuk aditif pelumas, aditif tahan gores, aditif anti-grafiti, lapisan plastik, and the broader Pelapis dan Aditif Tinta CHLUMICRYL® hub. Those pages help buyers decide which function family matters first. This page answers the narrower B2B application question that comes after that: which Longchang-supported additive route should lead when the target surface is specifically a soft-touch coating?
What the current company-supported evidence actually separates
- CHLUMIAG® 5005-60 is supported as an agen silikon organik untuk meningkatkan rasa sentuhan, aditif tahan abrasi, and anti-graffiti route for sistem berbasis air saja. Longchang states that it contains gugus fungsi hidroksil reaktif, is suitable for hydroxyl reaction systems, dan bisa ikatan silang ke dalam struktur jaringan polimer so it stays permanently fixed at the coating surface. The supported dosage is 1% hingga 3%.
- CHLUMIFE® 3166 didukung sebagai coating feel agent dan aditif tahan abrasi across UV, pelarut, Dan sistem berbasis air. Longchang supports 0,05% hingga 1% dosage, broad solvent-dilution flexibility, and practical watchpoints around pinholes, whitening, Dan foam stabilization, with the note that an antifoaming agent may be needed during formulation testing.
- CHLUMIFE® 3370 is supported as an organosilicon feel agent dan silicone surfactant untuk Sistem UV dan pelarut, but not for water-based use. Longchang supports 0.05% to 3% dosage, any-stage addition, and a waxy-solid form with an initial melting point of at least 50°C.
That is enough company-supported separation to build a real buyer page without inventing unsupported soft-touch claims for every end use.
Tabel perbandingan singkat: rute mana yang layak ditampilkan di layar pertama?
| Buyer priority | 5005-60 | 3166 | 3370 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main first-screen job | Water-based permanent hand-feel fixation and anti-graffiti direction | Multi-system dry-feel and abrasion-balance screening | UV or solvent soft-feel screening without water-based requirements |
| Supported dosage | 1% hingga 3% | 0,05% hingga 1% | 0.05% to 3% |
| System window | Hanya berbahan dasar air | UV, solvent, water-based | UV and solvent only |
| Logika penambahan | Any stage or later addition | Any stage, with optional solvent dilution first | Any stage or later addition |
| Best use when | The project is a water-based hydroxyl-reaction soft-touch route and permanent surface fixation matters | The team needs one broader benchmark for feel plus abrasion-side balance across several coating families | The line is already UV or solvent-side and wants a feel-focused route without carrying a water-based screen |
| Titik pengawasan utama | Hanya berbahan dasar air, dengan penyimpanan tertutup rapat dan terlindung dari cahaya. | Pinhole, whitening, and foam-stabilizing risk need to be tracked from the first trial | Water-based systems are not supported, and waxy-solid handling should be planned early |
Kapan CHLUMIAG® 5005-60 merupakan langkah awal yang lebih baik?
5005-60 deserves earlier review when the buyer is building a water-based soft-touch coating and wants the tactile route to stay more permanently integrated into the final film. Longchang’s current product page makes that logic unusually clear by supporting gugus fungsi hidroksil reaktif and saying the product can ikatan silang ke dalam struktur jaringan polimer so it remains permanently fixed at the surface.
5005-60 is usually the better first route when:
- the formulation is firmly berbasis air,
- the project sits in a sistem reaksi hidroksil,
- the buyer wants a softer or more controlled hand feel without treating the additive as a loose surface modifier only, or
- the soft-touch brief also overlaps with anti-grafiti, kehalusan permukaan, atau tape-isolation concerns.
This is the cleaner first path for water-based soft-touch work because it fits the system window directly. It is not the right first screen if the lab still needs UV or solvent flexibility.
Kapan CHLUMIFE® 3166 merupakan langkah pertama yang lebih baik?
3166 should move up first when the buyer wants a broader soft-touch benchmark instead of a water-based-only route. Longchang positions 3166 not only around coating feel, but also around ketahanan abrasi. That makes it useful when the surface target is not just softness on day one, but a more realistic balance between tactile value and handling durability.
3166 is usually the better first route when:
- the team is comparing UV, pelarut, dan berbasis air options in parallel,
- the project wants a dry-feel route rather than a strongly reactive water-based route,
- the buyer needs a benchmark that also leans toward abrasion-side support, atau
- the soft-touch target still has to survive aggressive mar or process-side handling pressure.
The watchpoints matter here. Longchang explicitly says 3166 may cause pinholes or whitening and may have a foam-stabilizing effect. That does not disqualify the route. It means the first sample round should measure surface defects and foam behavior instead of judging 3166 by touch alone.
When CHLUMIFE® 3370 is the better first move
3370 becomes the cleaner first route when the buyer is not trying to keep a water-based path open and wants a more clearly UV or solvent soft-feel route. Longchang supports it as an organosilicon feel agent dan silicone surfactant with broader dosage room up to 3%, while explicitly marking water-based systems as not applicable.
3370 is usually the better first route when:
- the project is already committed to UV or solvent chemistry,
- the team wants a more feel-focused route than a multi-system balancing grade,
- the lab is comfortable handling a waxy-solid additive, atau
- water-based compatibility would only make the first shortlist noisier.
That makes 3370 useful for narrower non-waterborne soft-touch programs, especially when the buyer wants to avoid overloading the first screen with system windows that are not commercially relevant.
How buyers should choose before the first sample round
1. Start with the actual coating-system boundary
If the project is definitely water-based, 5005-60 should usually be considered before 3370. If the line is definitely UV or solvent-side, 3370 becomes easier to justify. If the lab still needs one benchmark that can travel across multiple systems, 3166 is usually the cleaner first screen.
2. Separate tactile feel from durable handling balance
A soft-touch brief often sounds like a simple hand-feel problem, but many failures show up later as rub marks, whitening, pinholes, or poor abrasion resistance. 5005-60 is stronger when permanent water-based surface fixation matters. 3166 is stronger when the buyer wants a broader feel-plus-abrasion balance. 3370 is stronger when the system is narrower and non-waterborne.
3. Keep slip logic and soft-touch logic separate
Some teams drift too quickly into low-friction additive selection. That can be the wrong question. A soft-touch surface often needs a controlled premium feel, not just the lowest possible coefficient of friction. If the real project is mainly about slip or anti-sticking, the better route is usually the dedicated slip-additives page or the live tradeoff page on slip, mar resistance, and printability.
4. Use watchpoints as part of selection, not as footnotes
5005-60 has a firm hanya berbasis air boundary. 3166 carries pinhole, whitening, and foam watchpoints. 3370 excludes water-based use and introduces waxy-solid handling. Those are real shortlist criteria, not cleanup notes after the additive is chosen.
5. Keep the first round small and honest
For many labs, the cleanest first sample plan is one 5005-60 water-based reactive route, satu 3166 multi-system dry-feel route, dan satu 3370 UV or solvent soft-feel route. That usually teaches more than forcing several adjacent feel additives into the same screening lane.

PERTANYAAN YANG SERING DIAJUKAN
Which additive should I screen first for a water-based soft-touch coating?
Usually CHLUMIAG® 5005-60, because Longchang directly supports it for water-based systems and positions it around reactive hand feel and permanent surface fixation.
When should 3166 move ahead of 5005-60?
3166 should move ahead when the buyer still needs one broader benchmark across UV, solvent, and water-based systems, or when abrasion-side balance matters as much as tactile feel.
When does 3370 make more sense than 3166?
3370 makes more sense when the coating line is already UV or solvent-side and the team wants a narrower feel-focused route without carrying water-based compatibility into the first shortlist.
Is a soft-touch coating page the same as a slip-additive page?
No. Soft-touch work is usually about premium tactile feel plus realistic durability balance, not only low friction. If the real bottleneck is slip or anti-sticking, use the slip-specific pages instead of forcing that question into a soft-touch brief.
Need a tighter shortlist?
If your soft-touch coating program is stuck between permanent water-based hand feel, broader dry-feel and abrasion balance, Dan UV or solvent soft-feel screening, stop treating them as the same first job. Start with the real system boundary and the real failure mode. That usually makes the next CHLUMICRYL® sample decision much faster.
