Products in Appliances & Consumer Goods: Clearcoat

Lo-Vel® HSF belongs to PPG's synthetic precipitated silica product line, which reduces the gloss of coatings, varnishes, and other finishes. It offers high flatting efficiency, compatibility with various coating systems, and ease of redispersion. This product line delivers a balance of clarity and flatting for overprint varnish and topcoats. It can be used in solvent- or water-based coatings, high-solids, 100%-solids, and 2K systems, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.

LO-VEL® 8100 flatting agent is a high-efficiency flatting agent that is ideal for use in a variety of coating systems. It is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide, wax-treated silica designed for use where a Hegman value of 6 to 6.75 is required. Moreover, its high flatting efficiency, resistance to settling and heat-age stability provide formulation flexibility and expanded process capability.

LO-VEL® 8300 flatting agent is a synthetic amorphous precipitated silica treated with a functionalized wax. It is designed for use in waterborne and solvent-borne coatings, and is suitable for coatings with a dry film thickness of less than 1 mil (< 20 microns).

S-395-N2 is a synthetic wax with a DSC melt peak above 120°C, good crystallinity and high onset of melt. Shamrock’s product line of micronized waxes provide rub and abrasion resistance. Included in this line are products that provide gloss, matting, clarity, and controlled slip in a range of particle sizes.

S-394-N1 is a synthetic wax with a DSC melt peak above 110°C and good onset of melting. Shamrock’s product line of micronized waxes provide rub and abrasion resistance. Included in this line are products that provide gloss, matting, clarity, and controlled slip in a range of particle sizes

PPG LO-VEL® 8300 is a synthetic amorphous precipitated silica treated with a functionalized wax. This product is designed for use in waterborne and solvent-borne coatings. Lo-Vel 8300 silica is suitable for coatings with dry film thickness down to less than 1 mil.

PPG LO-VEL® 6200 silica is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide flatting agent designed for use where a Hegman value of 6.5 is required. A combination of high flatting efficiency, narrow particle size distribution, ease of dispersion and resistance-to-settling makes this product ideal for overprint varnish and other non-pigmented finishes where clarity, uniformity and smoothness are essential.

PPG LO-VEL® HSF flatting agent is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide designed to reduce the gloss of high-solids, low volatile organic compounds (VOC) coatings.

AROLON® 559-G4-70 is a non-oxidizing, water-dispersible, acrylic resin for formulating thermosetting coatings crosslinked with aminoplast resins. The uncrosslinked polymer is a hard film former. AROLON® 559 is cut in 2 butoxy ethanol and gives improved viscosity reduction. The resin should be neutralized with a volatile amine before dilution with water.
