Honeywell launched its new NduroMatt product line, of polyethylene-based matting agents.

NduroMatt includes three matting agents that are specifically designed to give an improved surface performance, in a wide range of architectural, wood and industrial coatings.

While conventional matting agents make coating susceptible to surface defects, including burnishing, marring and scratching, NduroMatt products can completely replace conventional matting agents, or can be used to supplement them and enhance the surface properties of matte coatings.

“The introduction of NduroMatt is a prime example of our team’s focus on the customer, and that customer-centricity is what drives new product innovation,” said Bob Gargione, VP and GM, Honeywell Additives and Chemicals. “Our team recognized the rapid growth in demand for matte coatings and understood the need for more advanced, high-performance matting agents. that enable these coatings to last longer.”

NduroMatt can be added at different stages of the manufacturing process, while still delivering improved coating products. Tests show NduroMatt significantly improves surface properties of coatings and provides formulation flexibility over existing matting agents.
