BYK-3938 P: a highly innovative, post-add additive for matting powder coatings – label-free
By contrast, the new BYK-3938 P represents a fully new approach, offering an extremely user friendly, label-free alternative for the matting of powder coatings. The additive is available in powder form and can easily be added to the finished powder coating in the pre-defined quantity.
The degree of gloss reduction depends on the dosage. The use of BYK-3938 P therefore makes it possible to cover a wide range of applications according to individual requirements, from a few gloss units for adjustment during quality control through to deep-matt surfaces for decorative applications.
