Product Applications
  • Ceridust® 3610 is recommended for solvent based coatings and inks as well as for pasty inks.
  • The narrow and fine particle size distribution provides an excellent rub resistance and a fast drying time in printing inks.
  • Also the phenomenon of piling on the rubber blanket is noticeable reduced due to the fine particles.
  • It is also an additive for powder coatings to increase the output during extrusion process and to improve the flow ability of the powder.
  • It also improves slip properties and enhances scratch resistance of the cured powder coating.
  • In addition it is also used as a degassing agent to prev ent pinhole formation.
  • In solvent based coatings the toughness of the micronized polyethylene creates an excellent scratch resistance together with high clarity and higher gloss levels compared to standard polyethylene grades.
  • Ceridust® 3610 is a fine particle dispersing agent and is recommended for Polyolefin, like LLDPE, LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, etc.
  • The micronized dispersing agent particles are close to the pigment particles and being almost statistically ideally distributed, show a high likeliness to find a place between pigment particles, thus separating them from each other.
  • Consequently those pigment particles will not form agglomerates.
  • The early melting behavior of micronized particles leads to a coating effect of the pigment particles and neutralizes the binding forces of pigment particles, prevents them from reagglomeration, eases pigment dispersion and stabilizes the dispersion.
  • A mixture of standard powder and Ceridust® already improves the color strength as well as the filter pressure value.
