Generally, Dow Corning additives are effective at the concentra-tionsnotedinTable2.Sinceadvantages do not increase proportionally, avoid using excessive amounts. Dow Corning additives are usually added during grind, let-downorarepost-added.However,somemaybeadded during any processing stage.SeeTable2foradditional information.
