INDUSTRIAL
NDUROMATT™
Matting Agents for Paints and Coatings
Honeywell’s NduroMatt product line consists of three products that offer a wide range of performance attributes for architectural, wood, industrial, and functional coatings.
NduroMatt products can completely replace conventional matting agents, or can be used to supplement matte coatings to enhance surface properties.
Matte coatings are more prevalent than ever before, yet the requirements for durability and longevity remain the same. Conventional matting agents make coatings susceptible to surface defects such as burnish, mar and scratch, negatively impacting the durability of matte paints and coatings. Honeywell’s new NduroMatt provides a 2-3 fold improvement over conventional matting agents.
- Matting Efficiency
- Burnish Resistance
- Rub Resistance
- Viscosity Build
- Shelf Stability
| PRODUCT | DESCRIPTION | PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES | BURNISH RESISTANCE | SCRUB RESISTANCE | RUB/MAR RESISTANCE | STORAGE STABILITY |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NduroMatt™ 100 | For use in water or solvent based, semi-gloss to flat paints and coatings, providing superior surface properties when compared to conventional matting agents. | Matting Efficiency – >50% faster incorporation – Limited or no foam and dust generation* – Limited or no impact on viscocity* |
