    Polymer Beads

    Polyurethane and acrylic based polymer beads in different particle sizes with mono-sized and Gaussian particle size distribution. Available as transparent and colored beads and in various degrees of hardness. They offer various benefits and solutions like permanent matting effect along with strong mechanical and chemical resistance as well as soft feeling effect. Due to the almost perfect scattering of light, non-reflective surfaces can be achieved. Highly recommended for applications like flooring, furniture coating, coil coating, paper foil coating and printing inks, architectural coating, leather finishing and different plastic applications.
