In the coatings and plastics industries, achieving a balance between enhanced hardness and maintaining high transparency has always been a technical challenge. Anmiweina’s Transparent Powder T336 is demonstrating exceptional application value across multiple fields, thanks to its outstanding optical properties and physical characteristics.
Balancing Transparency and Hardness in Wood Coatings
A client in the wood primer coating segment reported positive results after using T336, although budget constraints prevented a full-scale adoption. Nevertheless, the advantages of T336 remain clear: moderate hardness for easy sanding, high transparency, and low cost, making it an ideal filler for the mid-to-low-end market. For customers prioritizing cost-performance, T336 presents a compelling filling solution.
Transparency and Thixotropy in Watercolor Pigments
The application of Transparent Powder T336 in watercolor pigments has been particularly outstanding. Clients have reported that the product offers excellent transparency, does not affect the color hue, provides a fine powder texture, and imparts good thixotropic properties. Compared to aluminum hydroxide, which is softer and has poor compatibility with resin, T336 perfectly resolves these issues. The client has already begun small-batch testing and is expected to become a stable procurement source.
Revolutionizing Thickening and Transparency in Thick-Plate Printing Paste
In the field of 3mm thick-plate printing paste, traditional calcium carbonate and talc have issues such as insufficient transparency and a tendency to clog screens. By recommending T336, T303, and T836, we helped clients solve the pain points of slow thickening and low transparency. T336 has a refractive index close to polyurethane, offering the best transparency; T303, a nano-grade powder, uses its hollow structure to significantly accelerate thickening speed; and T836 has the lowest refractive index (1.48) for maximum clarity. Through proper selection, clients can balance transparency and thickening speed based on their specific needs.
Application Recommendations
Transparent Powder T336 is suitable for various resin systems, including water-based acrylic and polyurethane. An addition ratio of 5% to 20% of the total formulation is recommended, with the specific dosage adjusted according to the product’s transparency and hardness requirements. Better dispersion results can be achieved using a low-speed dispersion process (maintaining rotational speed below 700 rpm).
From wood coatings to watercolor paints and thick-plate printing paste, Anmiweina’s Transparent Powder T336 is helping downstream enterprises overcome one technical challenge after another with its “one powder, multiple functions” advantage.
