Characteristics
Slip
When two bodies move against each other, this gives rise to sliding friction. PowderMod. ® reduces the sliding friction force on surfaces and therefore also the initial expenditure of energy required. Possible applications exist in the sports, leisure and other sectors.
Scratch resistance
The hardness of a surface is defined as the resistance of the material to permanent deformation. PowderMod. ® increases the scratch resistance of various end products, thereby preventing the wear of coatings. Applications include the treatment of external facades that are accessible by foot.
Homogeneity
PowderMod. ® has very good incorporation properties and and improves the homogeneity of multiphase systems. As a result, problems with segregation in plastic applications can largely be eliminated and processing properties significantly improved.
Structuring
Certain structures are sometimes favoured due to their visual appearance. PowderMod. ® allows the artificial production of structures with aesthetically desired effects, for example in the field of pigment dispersion or on smooth surfaces.
Gloss
When light is reflected by a mirrored surface, this results in surface gloss. The opposite of this is the diffuse reflection of light, which results in dullness. PowderMod. ® offers solutions for both ends of the spectra whilst always retaining good processing properties.
Wear resistance
Thanks to its perfect homogeneity and ease of incorporation, PowderMod. ® is suitable for wear-resistant surfaces. This is of particular importance in the field of industrial applications, e.g. in plastic gears.
