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.
