The new CERAFLOUR 999 is a wax with a very fine and uniform particle distribution. This additive is not simply a mixture of soft polyethylene and relatively hard PTFE, but is co-milled using BYK's novel manufacturing process. The resulting wax additive improves the scratch resistance and abrasion resistance of the coating film while also achieving a smooth surface. Various additional effects can be achieved, such as high gloss and high transparency, a soft touch tactile effect, or a slight matte effect.

Protecting the surfaces of coating films and plastic materials extends the lifespan of products and prolongs the time until disposal, ultimately contributing to a circular society. Additionally, there is a demand for switching to materials that have characteristics such as the use of recyclable raw materials and biodegradability. By utilizing technologies like macromer technology, it has become possible to add new functionalities such as superhydrophilicity and high polarity surfaces. This article introduces the functionalization of surfaces through additives, focusing on surface modifiers and wax-based additives. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF document.

[CERAFLOUR 960] and [CERAFLOUR 964] are effective in improving degassing properties in primid-based powder coatings. In particular, [CERAFLOUR 964] enhances degassing without adversely affecting gloss (non-bl blooming). This additive is highly suitable for high-gloss powder coatings and is especially ideal for dark-colored applications where visible surface defects are likely to occur. Its low melting point also makes it optimal for low-temperature curing systems (LT systems).
