PROPYLMATTE 450
Finely micronized polypropylene for consistent matting and gloss control in paints, inks and industrial coatings
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Provides uniform gloss reduction with good clarity, a smoother surface feel, and no viscosity effects when compared to silica additives
- Tough, high molecular weight polymer imparts superior burnish and abrasion resistance vs. silica
- Does not lower COF; ideal for anti-skid surfaces
- In powder coatings, lowers gloss, reduces slip, and functions as a highly effective degassing agent vs. benzoin
- Eliminates powder coating pinholes and improves surface adhesion when overcoating or using silicone sealants
- Adds texture in low bake (Low E) powder coatings
COMPOSITION
Polypropylene
RECOMMENDED ADDITION LEVELS
2.0 - 5.0% depending on the level of gloss reduction desired
SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS
Solvent based and energy curable coatings and inks. Industrial coatings (including plastic, metal and leather); architectural wall and trim paints; stains, sealers and varnishes; wood coatings; printing inks and OPV's (including flexo and gravure); powder coatings; interior and exterior can and container coatings; coil coatings; floor coatings.
