Epomatt G-152

Epomatt G-152 is a carboxyl-functional, solid acrylic resin for matting epoxy-based powder coatings and is best suited to create 60° gloss values <10. The formulated coatings demonstrate good smoothness and exceptional mechanical and chemical resistance properties. In contrast to powders made with other gloss modification technologies, those formulated with Epomatt G-152 show little or no gloss deviation when exposed to varying oven or storage temperatures.

Low gloss / low bake compositions (for as low as 125°C) are possible by curing the epoxy with Epoxy Hardener G-91 (3-6 phr) and matting with the Epomatt G-152 (8-10 phr). In this manner, the curing agent and matting agent are working independently. The epoxy curing agent level is maintained at its normal recommended dosage for curing purposes, and the Epomatt G-152 causes the matting to occur.
