PropylMatte 31 is Finely micronized densified polypropylene for consistent matting and gloss control with superior in- can stability in water-based paints, coatings and inks.

Features and Benefits

  • Efficient gloss reduction from satin to matte finish
  • Improves burnish resistance vs. silica mattifiers
  • Particle density optimized to essentially eliminate flotation or settling in most water based systems
  • Imparts non-slip properties
  • For more efficient matting with a fine microtexture, try PropylTex 325HD/270HD
