OrgasolÒ powder additives make cleaning easier. Specific OrgasolÒ grades, with an average particle size from 5 to 60 microns, enable manufacturers to customize the ratio of particle size / thickness of polyurethane layer to create an easy-to-clean, non-slip texture. OrgasolÒ powder can also be used to create matte finishes with very low gloss. This gloss control property is of particular interest because, unlike most of the silica based products, OrgasolÒ has no impact on the viscosity levels of 100% solids UV curable formulations, while improving abrasion, scratch and stain resistance. Even in PVC flooring with a good initial resistance to abrasion and scratches, the use of OrgasolÒ powder will improve performance, especially in high traffic areas, or where low gloss finishes are required. OrgasolÒ powder also improves stain and scuff resistance, especially when the average particle size (APS) of the polyamide powder is greater than the thickness of the polyurethane layer. OrgasolÒ powder is easily dispersed in polyurethane formulations, whether solvent based, water based or 100% solid UV/EB curable formulations. Recommended grades: Orgasol® 2002 ES 4 NAT3, Orgasol® 2002 ES 5 NAT3, Orgasol® 2002 ES 6 NAT3, Orgasol® 2001 UD NAT 1 and Orgasol® 2001 EXD NAT1, Orgasol® 2002D NAT1 If you need further information on OrgasolÒ powder properties in PVC flooring, please feel free to contact us. |
