SURFACE EFFECTS
Inorganic and organic powder additives to adjust surface texture, anti-slip and resistance to mechanical stress
Haptic and Texture Effects
FINMATEX
Surface performance you can feel
Finmatex is our powder series for the targeted design of haptic surfaces. It gives coatings distinctive texture and grip, delivers precise slip control and protects the surface against mechanical and chemical stress. This turns a coating into a tactile experience.
By choosing the hardness and particle size of the additive, you can fine-tune effect and feel to your system. Finmatex is suitable for water- and solvent-based systems as well as 100% UV applications.
Finmatex Surface Effect Additives
Hard texturing agents: pronounced texture, high durability
The hard Finmatex grades (XR) create striking textures such as paper touch or stone touch. A broad range of particle sizes lets you match the effect to your film thickness and desired texture, even at film thicknesses above 100 µm. At the same time, they enhance the mechanical and chemical resistance of the surface.
Soft and extra soft additives: velvet touch, slip-control
The soft Finmatex grades (S and XS) provide velvety surfaces and a distinct soft-touch feel. They allow precise slip control and adapt to flexible binders and substrates. With our Eco-grades (E), which contain more than 50% biobased material, you also choose a more sustainable raw material approach.
Polymeric microspheres
Techpolymer
The additive series for all that modern surfaces have to offer. For a high mechanical resistance to abrasion, scratches and marks, to adjust the coating transparency or for anti-slip/soft-touch and other surface textures.

Techpolymer:
Due to their multitude of material properties the products of the various Techpolymer product series always offer the right solution. Adjustable parameters include the particle size, hardness, degree of crosslinking and refractive index.
Micronized silica powder
Sylysia
In addition to being used as an efficient matting agent for various coating systems, Sylysia silica also produce texturing effects and anti-slip effects in floor coatings and (packaging) printing inks. Also in the field of masterbatches the application possibilities are manifold.
Sylysia reliably acts as an anti-blocking additive during the production and storage of plastic films and sheets. It is also used as light diffraction additive in polystyrene and polycarbonate plastics (frosted glass effect).
