Polyethylene powders can be used in varnishes, paints and resins to improve flexural properties while providing impact and scratch resistance.
Lower micron size powders such as HMPE 35A can be used as matting agents in varnishes.
Powder addition can improve the resin and paint flow characteristics by increasing viscosity and therefore reducing the risk of dripping during application.
The spherical particle shape of the powders allows the paint, varnish or epoxy resin to be applied by brush, roller or spray gun.
