MICROSPERSION® 31SA-40
Suggested alternatives: Microspersion® 440W, Microspersion® 31HD-40
A nonionic water based dispersion of a finely micronized polypropylene/PTFE composite for consistent matting and gloss control with surface slip, abrasion and burnish resistance
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Convenient, ready-to-use, pourable nonionic wax dispersion
- Efficient gloss reduction from satin to matte finish
- Polypropylene improves burnish resistance vs. inorganic flattening agents
- PTFE provides additional abrasion resistance, enhanced lubricity and surface slip
- Density optimized for maximum stability in water based and energy curable systems
COMPOSITION
