1.Description
T-335 is a new version matting hardener based on resin designed for hybrid powder coatings. T-335 can produce matt finish of gloss 3% above, crosslink with epoxy at ratio: excess epoxy to T-335 is 1-2/1.Compared with the typical X68 type matt agent, characteristics as below: good storage ability, compatibility, gloss stability all extremely improved.

4.Characteristics
①To obtain lower matting finish, normally select 50/50 polyester with slowly reactivity, as better mechanical performance and storage ability.
②Formulation designation: T-335 less dosage(2-3%), excess epoxy/T-335=1-2/1, lower gloss and good flow; more dosage (4-4.5%), could select excess epoxy/T-335=1-1.5/1, lower gloss and smoothness surface.
③According to difference dosage in formula, excess epoxy/T-335 could be adjust to get suitable gloss and film appearance.
