Application Information

Powder Coatings
Special Features and Benefits 

The additive improves the pigment wetting in the manufacture of powder coatings and the electrostatic charge during application.
Recommended Use
Ceraflour® 994 is recommended for powder coatings based on polyester, polyester/epoxide, acrylate, polyurethane and epoxides.
Recommended Levels
0.5-2% 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
Ceraflour® 994 should be mixed with resin, hardener, pigments and other additives using a high-speed mixer and extruded along with all components.

 

Liquid Coatings
Special Features and Benefits

The additive improves scratch resistance and sandability and reduces the gloss in all solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems. Meat release properties in can coatings are improved.
Recommended Levels
0.5-2% 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 is preferably incorporated into the coating at the end of the production process at a moderate shear rate.
