Orgasol^® Ultrafine polyamide powders are a range of polymers and copolymers of lauryllactam (PA 12) and or caprolactam (PA 6) obtained by direct polymerization. Due to this unique process a range of Orgasol^® powders with a unique spherical shape and very narrow particle size distribution are available. The grades differ in terms of particle size (from 5 to 60 microns), specific surface area and melting point.

The characteristics and properties of Orgasol^® powders, extremely narrow particle size distribution, unique surface structure and morphology, contrast to other powders obtained from precipitation or ground processes.

Applications:
Coatings	Solvent based, water based, powder, UV and EB formulations Compatible with a variety of surfaces (metal, plastic, wood, paper, rubber and glass) Applied using a variety of processes (roller, spray and coil coating) Used in numerous markets such as hardwood flooring, coil-coating, kitchen cabinet, furniture, toys, automotive, aerospace, general industrial and TV/Stereo appliances
Composites	Thermoplastic binder for glass or carbon fibers Thermoplastic matrix for metal injection molding - magnet
Inks/Varnishes	Water-based or solvent-borne inks or OPV (over print varnishes) Non-thixotropic matting agent in UV varnishes
Paper Coatings	Printability improvements Anti-blocking properties
Sealants/Primers	Low density filler for high performance sealants or primers
