Inks & Coatings

Matting, rheology and anti-settling behaviour — engineered for film quality and formulation stability.

The Formulation Reality

A matting agent that dulls the film but roughs the surface is a compromise. A thickener that settles is a failure. In coatings and inks, functional powders must deliver their effect without collateral damage.

We engineer particle size distribution, structure and surface as a set — so matting efficiency, film smoothness, viscosity and stability come together in one material.

How We Approach It

We start from your formulation problem — not from a product list. Material structure, surface and particle profile are then engineered around your process and your regulatory framework.

Material Functions

What Our Materials Do in Your Formulation

Matting Efficiency

Controlled particle size distribution delivers gloss reduction with smooth film surfaces.

Rheology Control

Thickening and thixotropy tuned to your application method and storage profile.

Anti-Settling

Structural network behaviour keeps pigments and fillers suspended.

Surface Treatment Options

Treated grades for solvent-borne, water-borne and UV systems.

Structure & Absorption

Absorptive capacity designed around binder demand and film properties.

Film-Level Evaluation

Gloss, haze, viscosity and stability evaluated the way your lab measures them.
