Propyltex® 325S

Propyltex® 325S is Micronized polypropylene for reducing gloss and adding consistent surface texture and structure to a wide variety of paints and coatings.

Features and Benefits

  • Provides gloss reduction with improved burnish resistance vs. silica
  • Adds a mild texture effect to the coating surface
  • Tough, high molecular weight polypropylene gives good durability
  • Does not lower COF; ideal for non-skid surfaces
  • Narrow cut mean particle size grade available for maximum texture control
  • For a finer texture, try PropylMatte 31
