Plastics

Surface modifiers are added to plastic coatings to enhance aesthetics, touch/feel and wear:

  • The look of a surface can be controlled through the selection of an appropriate wax particle size: a large particle produces a matted surface; smaller particles create high gloss.
  • Wax additives give dashboards, instrument panels and hand-held electronics a soft or leather-like feel.
  • Additives give lacquer coatings scratch-, mar- and stain- resistance.
