AquaMatte® 31

AquaMatte® 31Fine is micronized oxidized high density polyethylene for gloss reduction of paints and industrial coatings. Also useful as an additive in seed coatings.

Features and Benefits

  • Provides uniform gloss reduction with a smoother surface feel when compared to silica additives.
  • Tough, high molecular weight polymer imparts burnish and abrasion resistance.
  • High density polymer provides maximum in-can stability with minimal flotation in water based systems.
  • Ideal for water based systems.
  • In seed coatings, improves anti-blocking, flow, and abrasion resistance.
