Coatings and Printing Inks
Special Features and Benefits
The additive has a matting effect and simultaneously improves scratch resistance, metal marking resistance and sandability. It is recommended for solvent-borne and aqueous systems.Recommended Levels
0.5-10% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation, depending on the desired degree of gloss.
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 is preferably incorporated into the coating at the end of the production process at a moderate shear rate.Powder Coatings
Special Features and Benefits
The additive is recommended for matting UV powder coatings and it also improves surface hardness and therefore surface protection.
Recommended Use
Ceraflour® 920 is recommended for all UV-curable powder coatings. The matting effect can be reinforced in combination with Ceraflour® 950.
Recommended Levels
2-8% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation, depending on the desired degree of gloss.
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 be mixed with resin, hardener, pigments and other additives using a high-speed mixer and extruded along with all the components.
