Key benefits for industrial wood coatings

Arkema offers rheology modifiers, flow and leveling additives, matting agents, abrasion resistance agents and sanding aids, as well as dispérsants.

Cost-effective rheology modifiers provide the perfect balance between sag control and anti-sedimentation. Based on polyacrylate or polyester technology, our flow and spread additives improve the surface appearance and offer excellent spreading and defoaming properties. Matting agents, as well as micronized powders and aqueous dispersions allow a satin or matt effect in wood coverings.

Abrasion resistance agents and sanding aids improve sandability for wood finishes, while reducing soil retention and marks produced on metal. Dispersants provide a universal dispersant for solvent-based coatings.
