AQUAMATTE® 22
Ultrafine grade of micronized oxidized polyethylene for gloss reduction of paints and industrial coatings. Also useful as an additive in seed coatings.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Provides uniform gloss reduction with good clarity and a smoother surface feel when compared to silica additives
- Tough, high molecular weight polymer imparts burnish and abrasion resistance
- High density polymer provides maximum in-can stability with minimal flotation in water based systems
- Ideal for water based systems
- In seed coatings, improves anti-blocking, flow, and abrasion resistance
COMPOSITION
Oxidized polyethylene
RECOMMENDED ADDITION LEVELS
2.0 - 5.0% depending on the level of gloss reduction desired
SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS
Water based coatings. Industrial coatings (including plastic, metal, masonry and leather) architectural wall and trim paints; stains, sealers and varnishes; wood coatings; printing inks and OPV's (including flexo and gravure); seed coatings.
