Coatings Industry
Special Features and Benefits
Ceraflour® 1000 enhances scratch resistance and improves the anti-blocking properties and soft feel effect. The additive has a matting effect, especially in radiation curable systems, and produces transparent coatings. It has no effect on the viscosity and surface slip, and does not cause foam stabilization. Ceraflour® 1000 is readily biodegradable and is composed of > 97% renewable raw materials.
Recommended Use
The additive is recommended for aqueous, solvent-borne, solvent-free, and UV systems.- Architectural coatings
- General industrial coatings
- Wood and furniture coatings
Recommended Levels1-10% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions : The additive should preferably be post-added to the coating using a low shear rate. Aqueous slurries of Ceraflour® 1000 that will not be processed immediately must have a suitable preservative added so as to protect against microbial infestation.
Printing Inks
Special Features and Benefits
Ceraflour® 1000 has a matting effect on aqueous and solvent-borne printing inks, overprint varnishes, and radiation curable systems, while simultaneously ensuring high transparency. The additive provides an excellent soft feel effect.
Recommended Levels
1-5 % additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions: The additive should preferably be incorporated into the printing ink or overprint varnish at a medium shear rate at the end of the production process.
Paper Coatings
Special Features and Benefits
Ceraflour® 1000 improves the anti-blocking properties and soft feel effect. The additive has a matting effect and has only a minor effect on transparency and viscosity. Ceraflour® 1000 has no effect on foam stabilization.
Recommended Levels
1-10 % additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing InstructionsThe additive should preferably be incorporated into the coating at a low shear rate before adding the thickeners. Aqueous slurries of Ceraflour® 1000 that will not be processed immediately must have a suitable preservative added so as to protect against microbial infestation. The slurry should be stirred thoroughly before use.
Leather Coatings
Special Features and Benefits
Ceraflour® 1000 enhances scratch resistance and improves the anti-blocking properties and soft feel effect. The additive has a matting effect and produces highly transparent coatings. It has no effect on the viscosity and surface slip, and does not cause foam stabilization. Ceraflour® 1000 is readily biodegradable and is composed of > 97 % renewable raw materials.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
Temperature sensitive. To be stored and transported at a temperature below 50°C. Ceraflour® 1000 is readily biodegradable and is therefore sensitive to microbial infestation if stored in open containers in a damp environment.
