Micronized polyethylene for modifying resin and metal coating films and for matte applications.
Proposed as an additive for surface coatings of plastics and metals to improve slip properties, durability, and for matte finishes. Excellent dispersibility allows for use in both solvent-based and water-based systems!
The additives used in plastic and metal paints are employed for modifying coating films (improving slip properties, scratch resistance, and durability), enhancing texture (glossy or matte finishes), and altering tactile properties. This product can lower the friction coefficient of the paint film surface and improve the durability of the film when added to the paint. Additionally, it allows for matte finishes and tactile modifications. It is adopted in various substrates such as urethane-based, acrylic-based, and epoxy-based materials, and can be used not only in solvent-based paints but also in water-based paints with just a small amount of dispersant. Powder coating can also be selected as a painting method. Conventional ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has a large particle size of over 100μ, making it unsuitable for use as an additive. However, this product can reduce the particle size to as small as 10μ, enabling the high slip properties and durability of UHMWPE to be imparted to the paint. 【Expected Functions】 - Slip properties and scratch resistance - Abrasion resistance and durability (alternative to PTFE) - Matte finish effect - Suitable for food-related applications (compliant with FDA standards and Polyethylene Association standards) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
**Features** - **Microparticles of ultra-high molecular weight PE that can be modified for sliding** With an average particle size in the world's smallest class of 10μ to 60μ, it achieves a reduction in the coefficient of friction (COF) on the coating surface and improves durability. - **Matte finish and design capability** By adding this product, it is possible to achieve a matte finish on the coating surface and impart design features. - **Wide range of applications** It is widely adopted for rubber paints, plastic paints, and metal paints. In particular, it has a proven track record in sliding modification paints for rubber parts around automobiles. - **Applicable for food use** Being ultra-high molecular weight PE, it meets the standards of the FDA and hygiene councils such as polyolefins, making it suitable for food contact applications. - **Alternative to PTFE** While polyethylene is not suitable for high-temperature applications, it boasts higher wear resistance than PTFE in temperature ranges other than high temperatures, making it a viable alternative to PTFE. - **Usable in water-based paints** By using a small amount of dispersant, it can be used not only in solvent-based paints but also in water-based paints. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
