MICROTOUCH 850XF

Highly resilient modified spherical polyurethane beads that can modify the tactile properties of formulated coatings and inks while improving burnish, scratch and mar resistance


FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Virtually indestructible elastic particles that distort when disturbed by a physical force and then return to their original spherical shape when the force is removed
  • Provide different tactile effects ranging from satiny smooth to rubbery to leathery in properly formulated coatings
  • Modified to enhance surface slip and lubricity
  • Improves burnish and abrasion resistance
  • Effective gloss reduction

COMPOSITION

Modified aliphatic polyurethane

RECOMMENDED ADDITION LEVELS

2.0 - 10.0% (higher amounts when greater tactile effects are desired)

SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS

Water based, solvent based and energy curable coatings and inks. Industrial coatings (including plastic, vinyl and leather); architectural wall and trim paints; wood coatings; printing inks and OPV's (including flexo and gravure); powder coatings; interior and exterior can and container coatings; soft touch coatings; floor coatings; visual effects.
