DECOSPHAERA® TRANSPARENT 8-20

DECOSPHAERA® TRANSPARENT 8-20 by Lamberti is a matting agent. It is crosslinked polyurethane spherical microbeads, produced through a water-based industrial process. It reduces gloss, even at 85°, while maintaining high black jetness and provides a high-slip, soft-touch finish.

• It offers broad compatibility, making them suitable for use in solvent-based coatings.
• It provides improved mechanical strength, abrasion resistance and chemical durability.
• The unique balance of toughness and elasticity makes them essential for high-performance formulations.
• The low oil absorption allows for high loading levels, enabling the achievement of deep matte finishes without compromising rheology.
• It is used in various applications, including high-quality paints and specialty coatings, where it enhances performance and visual appeal, particularly in the wood and leather industries with a natural haptic feel and providing surface protection.
• It is also used in coil coatings (both water-based and UV/EB) to improve flexibility.
• Additionally, it serves in industrial applications as a component in anti-vibration and sound-damping solutions.
• The dosage of DECOSPHAERA® TRANSPARENT 8-20 in the varnish depends on the desired result for matt and haptic effect.
• It has a shelf life of 1 year.
