Matting / Glossing Agents for Plastic Compounds

WARADUR® OP distributed by DKSH is an ester wax consisting of esters of montanic acids with multihydroxyl alcohols. It acts as a nucleating-, release agent, flow improver, dispersing agent for color masterbatches and filled plastics (talc, glass fiber), gloss booster, surface improver.

• It is made from a fossil biological source.
• The corresponding esters in WARADUR® OP exhibit chain length in the range of C58-C66 and provide this wax with a low volatility, good thermostability and low migration rates.
• It is compatible with thermoplastics such as PA, PBT, TPE, PC, PVC, styrenics, thermosets such as epoxy resins, phenolic resins and polyurethane.
• The maximum shelf life is 5 years.
• It is available in Malaysia.

Fine-Blend® XGM-001 distributed by DKSH is a general epoxy organic matting agent and its appearance is white powder. It can provide excellent matt solutions for PC/ABS, PC/ASA, PA/ABS, PBT/ABS.

• It significantly reduces the gloss of material without sacrificing other properties of the material.
• Fine-Blend® XGM-001 is available in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.

PALMOWAX Oleyl Palmitamide (OPA) by KLK OLEO acts as a slip agent, dispersant, external lubricant, flow improver, internal lubricant, matting agent, processing aid, surface finish improver and anti-blocking agent. It offers excellent surface migration and dispersion properties, while its addition to asphalt enhances viscoelasticity and raises the softening point which is ideal for road construction. It also enhances thermal stability and processing efficiency in complex systems. It has several polymer applications including ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), acetal, nylon/polyamide, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), PC (polycarbonate), PE (polyethylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PU (polyurethane), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), rubber, SBC (styrene block copolymer), thermoplastic polyester, wood plastic composite (WPC).

WARADUR® E by Voelpker is an ester wax consisting of esters of montanic acids with multihydroxyl alcohols. It acts as a release agent, flow improver, dispersing agent for color masterbatches and filled plastics (talc, glass fiber), gloss booster, surface improver.

• It is made from a fossil biological source.
• The corresponding esters in WARADUR® E exhibit chain length in the range of C58-C66 and provide this wax with a low volatility, good thermostability and low migration rates.
• It is compatible with thermoplastics such as PA, PBT, TPE, PC, PVC, styrenics, thermosets such as epoxy resins, phenolic resins and polyurethane.
• The maximum shelf life is 5 years.
• It has reached the criteria for inherent biodegradability (OECD Guideline 301 D, Closed Bottle Test).

ALTUGLAS® BS 130 by Trinseois a methylmethacrylate (MMA) copolymer compatible with PVC and all vinylic polymers. It acts as a matting agent.

• It possesses homogeneous effects, excellent reproducibility of recipes and minimal effect on mechanical properties such as impact strength, modulus, strain and even intrinsic weatherability (UV resistance) of beads.
• It provides excellent dispersion in polymers during melting and processing.
• It exhibits surface effects, anti-blocking and printability characteristics.
• It has high stability temperature (typical of PMMA >300°C) and therefore it is not degraded at all by usual processing conditions (shear and temperature) of PVC.
• Shows little effect on processing conditions like torque, pressure, melting temperature.
• It is used in the manufacturing of extruded opaque sheets in furnitures and thermoformable door panels, packaging, extruded profiles in sidings and window boards.
• Can be used in a broad range of formulations of flexible and rigid PVC with any type of additive including plasticizers, processing aids, fillers, pigments and stabilizers. Provides frost appearance in bottles.
• It is also used in making blown films to give transparent and opaque effects.
