Product Applications
  • Ceridust® 5551 is recommended for solvent and water based coatings. In powder coatings it acts as wetting and dispersing aid.
  • In solvent and water based coatings the micronized polyethylene creates an excellent scratch resistance.
  • The strong matting effect makes the Ceridust® 5551 to a very effective matting agent.
  • Also the slip performance can be influenced by theCeridust® 5551.
  • In addition the surface modification of wood coatings creates an outstanding soft feel touch.
  • The chemical composition of the micronized powder makes it also very stable in water based coatings.
  • There is no flooding or settling of the wax.
  • Ceridust® 5551 is a fine particle dispersing agent and is recommended for 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.
