The particle size is carefully controlled to produce a uniform surface in paints and coatings. PROPYLMATTE 31 is produced from a unique polypropylene polymer which allows it to impart non-slip properties when added to flexographic printing inks and paints. PROPYLMATTE 31 will also provide a uniform matte finish when added to lacquers and powder coatings. The low density and insolubility characteristics of PROPYLMATTE 31 will reduce or eliminate settling and provide optimum performance in all types of paints and coatings.
