Tecnoplastic

TECNOPLASTIC F

Plastic charges for antislip finish

Micronized plastic particles (polyamide), designed to texture polyurethane resins, and in this way, achieve surfaces and floorings with an anti-slip finish, in pedestrian traffic situations.



Uses

For application in the following situations:

  • to mix with polyurethane resins Tecnotop 2C/2CP/1C range of resins to achieve a level of medium-high roughness (depending on the mixing ratio).

NOTE: call our technical department about the application to other substrates or scopes of use

consumption 5 ~ 8 % depending on the texture desired
medium size of particle 125 µm (0.125 mm.)

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

  •  It is a coarse powder for producing significant surface texturing. The nature and degree of texturing depend on the applied film thickness and the ratio of texturing agent to binder.
  • To mix with Tecnotop range of aliphatic resins
  • Conforming even to European norm ENV 12633: (floors slipperiness), to achieve Class 3 (>45 slip resistance), depending on dosage (consult our technical department).
  • Depending on the formulation Tecnoplastic F may tend to sediment during storage of the coating. In such cases employing an anti-settling agent is necessary.
  • The thermal stability is influenced by the binder and also depends on the duration of exposure. Experiments must be undertaken to precisely determine the thermal stability if long-term exposure to temperatures of more than 140 °C (284ºF) is expected.
  • It  can be used in both solvent-based and solvent-free coatings, and also in water-based coating systems. The areas of application include decorative coatings and anti-slip coatings.
  • It is resistant to most customary solvents, but this should be checked when testing the overall coating formulation.

PACKAGING

Metal tins of 2 kg.


SHELF LIFE

24 months at temperatures between 5 and 35°C (41 to 95 ºF) provided it is stored in a dry place.

MIXING PROCEDURE

  • Mix the desired dosage in the A component of Tecnotop 2C/2CP/1C. The amount to be added in each case will depend on the desired or required texture project, this action can be performed by a speed-stirrer. It does not require the use of added agents, even if water-based systems are used. Perform this action until a homogeneous mixture.
  • In systems containing Pigments  texturing agents must be added after grinding these ones

HEALTH AND SAFETY

According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, Tecnoplastic F is not classified as a dangerous product and therefore does not need to be labeled. Due to the powdery nature of the product, measures for dust protection must be heeded and the build-up of an electrostatic charge must be avoided.
