DSM Launches Higher-performance Matte Powder Coating Technology

Royal DSM launched a new proprietary Uralacone shot matte (OSM) powder coating HAA system. The new Uralac OSM powder coating resins are being rolled out globally and can be used for a wide range of industrial matte applications.

Thanks to DSM’s R&D efforts, the Uralac OSM P8014 and P8019 resins enable a step change in performance for OSM powder coatings for industrial applications, delivering several important user advantages. DSM’s newly launched Uralac OSM system can be cured for 10 minutes at 180°C or 20 minutes at 160°C, enabling a lower manufacturing carbon footprint.

In addition, the new Uralac OSM resins successfully tackles the common drawback of poor reproducibility for OSM matte powder coating solutions. With the new Uralac OSM resins, manufacturers can more easily reproduce the same matte coating finish. Finally, the new Uralac OSM HAA system also enables lower crosslinker levels than other current OSM alternative systems, driving the cost-effectiveness of matte powder coating solutions.

“By addressing the growing market demand for higher-performance matte powder coating solutions; it shows that DSM truly is a sustainable development partner with global commitment,” said Marten Houweling, global product manager Powder Coating Resins, DSM.“Specifically, powder paint manufacturers can now offer lower cure OSM powder coatings, with lower crosslinker content, better reproducibility, and excellent overall performance properties. Over the coming years, DSM will look to further broaden its matte powder coating product portfolio, in line with consumer trends and market demands.”
