LO-VEL® 8100 flatting agent is a high-efficiency flatting agent that is ideal for use in a variety of coating systems. It is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide, wax-treated silica designed for use where a Hegman value of 6 to 6.75 is required. Moreover, its high flatting efficiency, resistance to settling and heat-age stability provide formulation flexibility and expanded process capability.
