AHA2006 distributed by DKSH is a modified polyethylene wax-based matting agent. It is designed for outdoor-durable TGIC powder coatings, providing a gloss range of 30-40% and smooth matte finishes.

• It can also be used in other powder coatings, offering an appropriate semi-gloss finish.
• For the Primid system, approximately 60% gloss can be achieved however, it has a tendency to cause significant yellowing, so it is not recommended for this application.
• Recommended dosage level is 3% by total weight of formulation.
• AHA2006 has a shelf life of 3 years.
• It is available in Canada.

• It is able to be used with a wide variety of resin systems and improves scratch resistance and film appearance.
• It is used in powder coatings.
• Recommended usage level is 0.15-1.5% (w/w).
• It has a shelf life of 12 months.
• Luna-add 4101 is available in Canada and USA.

Crayvallac® 60P distributed by DKSH is an oxidized polyethylene wax. It provides pigment suspension without any increase in the apparent viscosity. It exhibits good anti-settle properties at spraying viscosities, sag resistance, good recoatability and is tolerant to high processing temperatures.

• It can be easily incorporated and activated in coating systems using most high shear dispersion equipment.
• Crayvallac® 60P is used in most solvent-based formulations including industrial & maintenance coatings, epoxy primers, vinyl primers, anti-fouling paints, road marking paints and chlorinated rubber coatings.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.5-3.0% for anti-settle and sag resistance.
• It has a shelf life of 4 years.
• It is available in Canada.

AHA2029 distributed by DKSH acts as a matting agent, in conjunction with the COOH-polyester resins, used in exterior durable TGIC based powder coatings. It is a deep modified, low wax-containing version of former AHA 2019.
