Resposta rápida: if the project is clearly à base de água and the buyer wants a reactive hand-feel route that can stay more permanently fixed at the coating surface, CHLUMIAG® 5005-60 is usually the cleaner first benchmark. If the team needs one broader route for dry feel, smoothness, gloss, anti-blocking, and abrasion-balance screening across Sistemas à base de UV, solventes e água, CHLUMIFE® 3166 deserves earlier review. If the line is already UV or solvent-side and the buyer wants a feel-focused silicone route without carrying a water-based screen, CHLUMIFE® 3370 is the more direct shortlist candidate.
This page is a tighter buyer-comparison article, not a repeat of the already-live soft-touch coatings application page. That broader page helps buyers decide which product lane belongs first in a soft-touch project. This page answers the next narrower question: which of these three exact CHLUMICRYL® routes should move into the first sample round when the lab is choosing between water-based reactive fixation, broader dry-feel balance, and UV or solvent-only surface feel?
Por que essa comparação merece uma página própria?
In soft-touch and feel-focused coating work, buyers often collapse three different decisions into one. They ask for a single additive that will create a premium touch, hold up under handling, avoid visible defects, and fit every system family. That is usually where the shortlist gets noisy.
Longchang já possui páginas ativas para aditivos deslizantes, scratch-resistant additives, aditivos antigrafite, the broader CHLUMICRYL® Aditivos para tintas e revestimentos hub, and the already-live soft-touch coatings buyer page. What is still commercially useful is a product-vs-product shortlist page for buyers who have already narrowed the problem to these three routes and now need a cleaner first comparison.
That makes this a realistic CHLUMICRYL-direction publish path, not a drift back into the older photoinitiator cluster and not another overlap-heavy broad function article.
What the current company-supported facts actually separate
- CHLUMIAG® 5005-60 is supported by Longchang as an agente de silicone orgânico para sensação ao toque, aditivo resistente à abrasão, and anti-graffiti route for somente sistemas à base de água. Longchang states that it contains grupos funcionais hidroxila reativos, é adequado para hydroxyl reaction systemse pode reticular na estrutura da rede polimérica so it stays permanently fixed at the coating surface. Recommended dosage is 1% a 3%.
- CHLUMIFE® 3166 is supported as a coating feel agent e aditivo resistente à abrasão across Sistemas à base de UV, solventes e água. Longchang supports 0,05% a 1% dosage, any-stage addition, optional solvent dilution, and a broader surface-performance story around suavidade da superfície, resistência a arranhões, anti-bloqueio, nivelamento, melhoria do brilho, and especially excelente sensação de secura. The key watchpoints are possible pinholes, whitening, e foam stabilization.
- CHLUMIFE® 3370 is supported as an organosilicon feel agent e silicone surfactant para UV and solvent systems, but not for water-based use. Longchang supports 0.05% to 3% dosage, any-stage addition, and notes a waxy-solid form with an initial melting point of at least 50°C.
That is enough company-supported separation to publish a real B2B comparison without inventing unsupported claims about every downstream end use.
Quick comparison table
| Produto | Melhor primeiro ajuste | Janela do sistema suportada | Posto de observação principal |
|---|---|---|---|
| CHLUMIAG® 5005-60 | Water-based reactive hand feel and more permanent surface fixation | Somente à base de água | Not supported for UV or solvent systems; sealed, light-protected storage discipline matters |
| CHLUMIFE® 3166 | Broader dry-feel and abrasion-balance screening across more than one system family | UV, solvent, water-based | Pinhole, whitening, and foam-stabilizing risk must be checked from the first trial |
| CHLUMIFE® 3370 | UV or solvent-only feel-focused route when water-based fit is unnecessary | UV and solvent only | Water-based systems are not supported, and waxy-solid handling should be planned early |
When CHLUMIAG® 5005-60 is the better first fit
5005-60 should usually move first when the buyer is already committed to a water-based soft-touch or feel-focused coating route and wants the additive to become more permanently integrated into the final surface. Longchang makes that logic unusually clear by supporting grupos funcionais hidroxila reativos and saying the product can reticular na estrutura da rede polimérica.
That makes 5005-60 the cleaner first route when:
- the line is firmly à base de água,
- the system sits inside a hydroxyl-reaction window,
- o comprador quer um hand-feel route with more permanent surface fixation, ou
- the brief overlaps with resistência à abrasão or an anti-graffiti style surface-maintenance target.
It is not the right first benchmark when the lab still needs UV or solvent flexibility. In that case, 5005-60 can be too narrow too early.
When CHLUMIFE® 3166 is the better first fit
3166 deserves earlier review when the buyer wants a broader benchmark instead of a narrow water-based-only route. Longchang does not position it only around touch. The supported product page also ties it to suavidade da superfície, resistência a arranhões, anti-bloqueio, nivelamento, e melhoria do brilho, while keeping it open across Sistemas à base de UV, solventes e água.
That makes 3166 the stronger first route when:
- the team needs one additive that can be screened across multiple system families,
- the project wants a dry-feel plus abrasion-balance route instead of only a reactive hand-feel story,
- the coating still has to balance surface look com handling durability, ou
- the buyer wants a broader benchmark before narrowing down into a more specialized route.
The watchpoints matter. Longchang explicitly says 3166 may cause pinholes or whitening and may stabilize foam. That does not make the product weak. It simply means the lab should judge 3166 with a full surface-defect and foam-control screen, not by touch alone.
When CHLUMIFE® 3370 is the better first fit
3370 becomes the cleaner first route when the project is already UV or solvent-side and the buyer wants a more direct feel-focused silicone route without pulling a water-based option into the shortlist. Longchang supports it as an organosilicon feel agent e silicone surfactant with a dosage range of 0.05% to 3% and any-stage addition, while clearly marking water-based systems as not applicable.
That makes 3370 the better first route when:
- the formulation is already committed to UV or solvent chemistry,
- the buyer wants a feel-focused route without needing the broader multi-system balance of 3166,
- the lab is comfortable handling a waxy-solid additive, ou
- water-based compatibility would only make the first sample set noisier.
In short, 3370 is useful when the project boundary is narrow enough that the cleaner question is not “Which route fits every system?” but “Which route fits this non-waterborne system most directly?”
How buyers should choose between 5005-60, 3166, and 3370
1. Start with the system boundary before the feel language
If the project is definitely water-based, 5005-60 or 3166 should be reviewed before 3370. If the line is definitely UV or solvent-based, 3166 or 3370 usually deserve the first screen before 5005-60.
2. Decide whether you want permanent fixation or broader flexibility
5005-60 is stronger when the buyer wants a reactive water-based route that can crosslink into the network structure. 3166 is stronger when the team wants a broader dry-feel benchmark that can also carry surface-balance questions like gloss, anti-blocking, and scratch resistance. 3370 is stronger when the lab wants a narrower non-waterborne feel route.
3. Keep handling and defect watchpoints visible
5005-60 has a hard water-based-only boundary. 3166 carries pinhole, whitening, and foam watchpoints. 3370 introduces waxy-solid handling and excludes water-based use. Those are not minor notes. They are real shortlist filters.
4. Do not confuse soft-touch work with simple slip work
A project that needs a more premium or dry touch is not always asking the same question as a project that only wants lower friction. If the true bottleneck is slip, antiaderente, ou printability balance, the better next step may be the live tradeoff page on slip, mar resistance, and printability instead of forcing every question into a soft-touch shortlist.
5. Mantenha a primeira rodada de amostragem curta
For many buyers, the cleanest first trial set is one 5005-60 reactive water-based route, um 3166 broader dry-feel routee um 3370 UV or solvent-only route. That usually teaches more than trialing several adjacent feel additives without a clear system logic.

PERGUNTAS FREQUENTES
Which additive is the cleanest first benchmark for a water-based soft-touch coating?
Usually CHLUMIAG® 5005-60, because Longchang directly supports it for water-based systems and ties it to reactive hand feel, hydroxyl-reaction systems, and crosslinking into the polymer network structure.
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 the project needs a more balanced screen across feel, gloss, anti-blocking, and abrasion-related performance.
Why would 3370 be chosen before 3166?
3370 deserves earlier review when the line is already UV or solvent-side and the buyer wants a narrower feel-focused route without carrying water-based compatibility into the first shortlist.
Can one of these products replace the other two?
Usually no. Their commercial fit is different enough that the faster route is to define the system boundary and the real surface target first, then choose the product that matches that first decision.
Is this the same page as the soft-touch coatings article?
No. The soft-touch coatings article is an application page. This page is a tighter product-vs-product shortlist for buyers who are already comparing these three specific routes.
Precisa de uma lista mais curta?
If your coating project is stuck between water-based reactive hand feel, broader dry-feel and abrasion balance, e UV or solvent-only surface feel, start by locking the system boundary first. Then compare 5005-60, 3166, and 3370 as three different first-screen routes instead of treating them like interchangeable feel additives. That usually gives a faster and more commercially useful sample plan.
