PARALOID™ EXL-5137

Paraloid™ EXL-5137 by Dow Corning is a high efficiency optical properties modifier developed for engineering resins. Its particular shape and structure is specially designed to decrease the gloss of a finished product without affecting the mechanical properties. The additive contributes to the reduction of overall costs when a matt surface is required, as it eliminates the need for specially textured tools or matt coatings as secondary finishing operations. It has shown significant matting efficiency in polycarbonate and polycarbonate blends. Besides this Paraloid™ EXL-5137 by Dow Corning also acts as a light diffuser in transparent polycarbonate, and at very low levels provides a high level of opalescence to transparent polycarbonate.
