Quick selection
- Waterborne, refined surface
- CENSIL 230W
- Wood / UV / plastic, organically treated
- CENSIL 525L
- Industrial, coil, powder — untreated
- CENSIL 560N
Where we add value
- Three matting routes — fine-particle special treatment, organic treatment and untreated.
- Improve matting efficiency, dispersion, clarity, tactile feel and anti-sag behaviour.
- Select by resin, solvent system, dispersing equipment and target gloss.
Who this track serves
- Wood coating, industrial coating, refinish, coil, UV and powder coating manufacturers.
- Waterborne coating, leather coating and coating compounding companies.
- Coating customers with a formulation lab and dispersing equipment.
Grades on this track
Three matting routes: a specially treated fine-particle grade aimed at waterborne systems and refined surfaces; an organically treated grade for resin compatibility and general matting; and an untreated grade for industrial, coil, powder and general-purpose systems.
We publish the selection logic, not the numbers. Data sheets are issued per enquiry so the figures match the current supplier revision and your application.
Typical values for orientation only, not a specification. The current supplier technical data sheet governs for quotation, COA and customer testing — request it for the grade you are evaluating.
How to run the trial
| Test dimension | What to watch | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Gloss | 60° / 85° gloss and matting efficiency | Tells you the matting result |
| Clarity and haze | Clear-coat transparency and surface appearance | Tells you high-end appearance fit |
| Tactile feel | Fineness, slip and soft-touch character | Tells you product differentiation |
| Dispersion and viscosity | Dispersing difficulty, system viscosity, storage stability | Tells you production fit |
| Anti-settling and sag | Storage settling, sagging and film build control | Tells you delivery stability |
Where we sit against the reference brands
How we approach it
Start from the coating system and the target appearance: waterborne systems needing a refined surface should test CENSIL 230W first; resin compatibility and general matting point to CENSIL 525L; conventional industrial, coil or powder systems can start from CENSIL 560N.
