PropylMatte 1720

PropylMatte 450 is Finely micronized polypropylene for consistent matting and gloss control in paints, inks and industrial coatings.Features and Benefits
Provides uniform gloss reduction with good clarity, a smoother surface feel, and no viscosity effects when compared to silica additives
Tough, high molecular weight polymer imparts superior burnish and abrasion resistance vs. silica
Does not lower COF; ideal for non-skid surfaces
In powder coatings, lowers gloss, reduces slip, and functions as a highly effective degassing agent vs. benzoin
Eliminates powder coating pinholes and improves surface adhesion when overcoating or using silicone sealants
Adds texture in low bake (Low E) powder coatings


PropylMatte 450

PropylMatte 31HD is Finely micronized densified polypropylene for consistent matting and gloss control with superior in- can stability in water-based paints, coatings and inks.Features and Benefits
Efficient gloss reduction from satin to matte finish
Improves burnish resistance vs. silica mattifiers
Particle density optimized to essentially eliminate flotation or settling in most water based systems
Imparts non-slip properties
For more efficient matting with a fine microtexture, try PropylTex 325HD/270HD


PropylMatte 31HD

PropylMatte 31SA is Finely micronized PTFE modified polypropylene for consistent matting and gloss control with surface slip, abrasion and burnish resistance.Features and Benefits
