Orgasol^® Powder in Sports Flooring

All sports flooring (wood, PVC, polyurethane resins, etc.) must withstand abrasion/scratches while maintaining cleanability and anti-slip properties.

Due to the high traffic to which sports flooring is exposed, there is a need to improve abrasion resistance and cleanability while maintaining an anti-slip surface.

Orgasol^® powder additive can achieve these three property requirements. Orgasol^® powder is often used to reach a combination of abrasion/scratch resistance with anti-slip properties in matte formulations. Orgasol® powder also improves the anti-slip properties of wet flooring and improves cleanability due to its spherical particle shape.

Orgasol^® powder is also used as a matting agent. Unlike most of the silica based products, the gloss control property of Orgasol^® powder has no impact on the viscosity level of 100% solid UV curable formulations.

Orgasol^® powder is easily dispersed, especially in polyurethane and epoxy which are formulations most widely used in the sports flooring market. Orgasol^® powder can be used in solvent based, water based, powder and 100% solid UV/EB curable formulations.

Recommended grades: Orgasol® 2002 ES3 NAT3, Orgasol® 2002 ES4 NAT3, Orgasol® 2002 ES5 NAT3, Orgasol® 2002 ES6 NAT3 and Orgasol® 3202 D NAT1
