AQUAMATTE® 26HD
A very fine grade of densified oxidized polyethylene for gloss reduction and optimum stability in water based paints and 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
- Optimized density of 1.08 eliminates flotation and ensures maximum in-can stability
- Ideal for water based systems
- Easy to disperse fine powder that can be incorporated with high speed mixing
COMPOSITION
Densified oxidized HDPE
RECOMMENDED ADDITION LEVELS
2.0 - 5.0% depending on the level of gloss reduction desired
