Product Applications
  • Ceridust® 3620 is recommended for solvent based coatings and inks as well as for powder coating application.
  • It is an excellent rub and scratch resistance additive for all kind of printing inks.
  • The fine powder is easy to disperse especially in solvent or oil based inks.
  • In solvent based coatings the micronized polyethylene creates an excellent scratch resistance together with a very good matting and slip effect.
  • It is also an additive for powder coatings to increase the output during extrusion process and to improve the flowability of the powder.
  • It also improves slip properties and enhances scratch resistance of the cured powder coating.
  • The fine powder is also easy to blend with all the other ingredients at the beginning of the production procedure.
  • Ceridust® 3620 is a fine particle dispersing agent and is recommended for polyolef in, like LLDPE, LDPE, MDPE, HDPE.
  • 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 behaviour of micronized particles leads to a coating effect of the pigment particles and neutralizes the binding forces of pigment particles, prevents them from re agglomeration, 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.
