Powder Coatings
Special Features and Benefits

The additive improves the degassing and pigment wetting of powder coatings as well as the electrostatic charge during processing. It also has a matting effect.
Recommended Levels
0.5-2% additive (as supplied) based upon 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 is mixed with resin, hardener, pigments and other additives in a high-speed mixer and then extruded together with all components.
