Product Application

Liquid Coatings
Special Features and Benefits

The additive improves scratch resistance, creates a soft feel effect and has a matting effect. Main application area – solvent-free, radiation-curable coating systems.

Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive is preferably incorporated into the coating at the end of the production process at a moderate shear rate.

 

Printing Inks and Overprint Varnishes
Special Features and Benefits
The additive increases surface slip and improves abrasion resistance in solvent-free, radiation-curable printing inks and overprint varnishes.

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 powder coatings and it also improves surface protection.
Recommended Use
Ceraflour® 950 is recommended for powder coatings based on polyester, polyester/epoxide, acrylate, polyurethane and epoxides.

Incorporation and Processing Instructions
Ceraflour® 950 should be mixed with resin, hardener, pigments and other additives using a high-speed mixer and extruded along with all components.
