Product Applications
  • Ceridust® 3910 is recommended for solvent and water based coatings and inks.
  • It has also excellent degassing properties in powder coatings.
  • It is a slip additive in various printing ink systems.
  • Additionally it also provides rub and scratch resistance.
  • In solvent and water based coatings the micronized amide wax performs as scratch resistance additive and lowers the coefficient of friction.
  • Furthermore it improves the sand ability of wood coating and creates a soft touch effect on the surface.
  • In powder coatings it is a very effective degassing agent, especially for poly ester based coatings.
  • In addition high water repellence effect and scratch resistance can be achiev ed by adding the Ceridust® 3910.
  • Also the anti blocking behaviour of the cured lacquer is improved with the add-on of Ceridust® 3910.
  • Ceridust® 3910 is a fine particle dispersing agent and is recommended f or engineering polymers like PA, PC, PET, PBT, TPU, 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 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.
  • Dispersing agent, especially for hard-to-disperse pigments in masterbatches based on engineering resins like PA,PBT,PET,PC,PDM,TPU,PS etc.
  • Additive for paints and coatings, sandin gaid and slip additive for inks
