High abrasion and scratch resistance: OrasolÒ polyamide powders provide a powerful combination of abrasion and scratch resistance and an improvement in product durability.

Coating resistance to abrasion and scratches Formulation: 100% solid UV curable

Gloss control and mar resistance: In most of formulations, Orgasol® powders provide matte-to-satin effects, without the drawbacks of increased viscosity and higher sensitivity to scratches and abrasion common to matting agents like silica. Orgasol® powders also avoid haze, settlement and promotes mar resistance.  Texturing effects: OrgasolÒ powders can also be used as texturing agents. Available in a range of particle sizes (from 5 to 60 microns), Orgasol® powders can impart textures from smooth to rough by modifying the ratio of particle size to coating thickness. Thus, the spherical particles and the very narrow particle size distribution of OrgasolÒ powders impart very specific regular textures, combining both pleasant hand touch as well as anti-slip properties. Lubrication: Adding Orgasol® powder decreases the coating’s coefficient of friction, thanks to the lubricating effect of polyamide and the spherical shape of the particles. An advantage of OrgasolÒ is that it can be processed at high temperatures -- a great asset in rubber coating.

Flexibility: Orgasol® thermoplastic additive used in a thermoset system can act as a toughening agent, increasing the flexibility of the coating and its resistance to crack propagation. Low impact on viscosity: OrgasolÒ powders bring improvements without bringing a negative effect on viscosity and, consequently, on processability. This is especially important in 100% solid-UV curable formulations.

Recoatability: OrgasolÒ powder can be used in multiple-layer coatings, such as in flooring. To get more information on Orgasol® powder benefits in coating and inks, please feel free to contact us or download “Coating Generalities Technical Brochure.”
