Product Applications
  • Ceridust® 6050 M is recommended for solvent based and powder coatings.
  • In solvent based coatings the micronized polypropylene creates an excellent scratch resistance.
  • The very strong matting effect makes the Ceridust 6050 M to a very effective matting agent.
  • In powder coatings it acts as a degassing agent. It also increases the coefficient of friction (anti slip), enhances scratch resistance and reduces gloss of the cured powder coating.
  • It improves the adhesion properties on the surface without compromise of degassing properties when using amide based waxes.
  • Ceridust® 6050 M is a fine particle dispersing agent and is recommended for Polyropylene –especially film and fiber application.
  • 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.
  • Ceridust® 6050 M is used as dispersing agent for hard-to-disperse PP pigment masterbatches, especially for high demanding applications like e.g. fibers
