PPG LO-VEL® 2010

Functions:Flattener
Chemical Family:Silica
End Uses:Wood Coating, Lacquers
Features:Over-Grind Resistance, Improved Flexibility

PPG LO-VEL® 2010 flatting agent is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide, wax-treated flatting agent with performance similar to silica gels in coating formulations.

PPG LO-VEL® 29

Functions:Flattener
Chemical Family:Silica
End Uses:Waterborne Coating, Solventborne Coating
Features:Low Oil Absorption

PPG LO-VEL® 29 silica is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide flatting agent designed to reduce the gloss of coil coatings.

PPG LO-VEL® 27

Functions:Flattener
Chemical Family:Silica
End Uses:Wood Coating, Top Coat
Features:Good Gloss Control, Cost Effective, Low Oil Absorption

PPG LO-VEL® 27 flatting silica is a highly efficient synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide flatting agent designed to reduce the gloss of lacquers and other coatings systems where a Hegman value of 6 to 6.5 is required.

PPG LO-VEL® 8300

Functions:Flattener
Chemical Family:Silica
End Uses:Waterborne Coating, Solventborne Coating, Lacquers, Clearcoat, Wood Coating

PPG LO-VEL® 8300 is a synthetic amorphous precipitated silica treated with a functionalized wax. This product is designed for use in waterborne and solvent-borne coatings. Lo-Vel 8300 silica is suitable for coatings with dry film thickness down to less than 1 mil.

PPG LO-VEL® 6200

Functions:Flattener
Chemical Family:Silica
End Uses:Waterborne Coating, Lacquers, Solventborne Ink, Solventborne Coating, Wood Coating, Clearcoat
Features:Over-Grind Resistance, Excellent Dispersibility, Good Leveling, Good Color Stability, Anti-Settling

PPG LO-VEL® 6200 silica is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide flatting agent designed for use where a Hegman value of 6.5 is required. A combination of high flatting efficiency, narrow particle size distribution, ease of dispersion and resistance-to-settling makes this product ideal for overprint varnish and other non-pigmented finishes where clarity, uniformity and smoothness are essential.

PPG LO-VEL® 2023

Functions:Flattener
Chemical Family:Silica
End Uses:Wood Coating, Lacquers
Features:Improved Flexibility

PPG LO-VEL® 2023 flatting agent is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide, wax-treated flatting agent with performance similar to silica gels in coating formulations.

PPG LO-VEL® 6000

Functions:Flattener
Chemical Family:Silica
End Uses:Varnishes, Radiation Curable Coating, Solventless & High Solids Coating
Labeling Claims:Low VOC
Features:Over-Grind Resistance, Improved Flexibility, Low VOC, Good Color Stability, Anti-Settling

PPG LO-VEL® 6000 silica is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide flatting agent designed for use where a Hegman value of 5 to 6 is required. A combination of high flatting at low use levels and ease of incorporation delivers expanded formulation flexibility.

PPG LO-VEL® 2000

Functions:Flattener
Chemical Family:Silica
End Uses:Lacquers, Varnishes, Wood Coating
Features:High Durability, Over-Grind Resistance, Improved Flexibility

PPG LO-VEL® 2000 silica is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide flatting agent that delivers performance similar to silica gels in coatings formulations.

PPG LO-VEL® 8100

Functions:Flattener
Chemical Family:Silica
End Uses:Waterborne Coating, Lacquers, Solventborne Coating, Wood Coating, Clearcoat
Features:Over-Grind Resistance, Good Leveling, Heat Ageing Properties, Good Color Stability, Anti-Settling

PPG LO-VEL® 8100 flatting agent is high-efficiency flatting agent that is idea for use in a variety of coating systems. Lo-Vel 8100 flatting agent is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide, wax-treated silica designed for use where a Hegman value of 6 to 6.75 is required. A combination of high flatting efficiency, resistance-to-settling and heat-age stability provides formulation flexibility and expanded process capability.
