VESTOSINT® with a New Shine
Higher gloss and whiteness in VESTOSINT® minicoat surfaces
VESTOSINT®, a white powder for coating small metal parts, has been optimized for gloss. The High Performance Polymers Business Unit of Degussa GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany, developed this polyamide 12 fine powder especially for the minicoating process, thus satisfying the steadily growing requirements on the surface texture of metal parts used in the textile and undergarment industries.
Surfaces made of the new VESTOSINT® powder have a gloss value that is more than 20 units higher than that of customary VESTOSINT® coatings. The absolute value measured at an angle of 85° is approximately 95 gloss units. The whiteness (L*-value) was increased to nearly 97.5. Of course, the well-known, outstanding properties of VESTOSINT® coatings, such as abrasion resistance and chemical resistance, have not been changed: neither washing nor detergents and cleaners have an impact to the surface. The coatings are also resistant to skin substances, such as fat and perspiration, and are non-allergenic.
Like all VESTOSINT® powders, the latest product also features excellent flowability and fluidizability, thanks to Degussa’s manufacturing process, which is unique in the world.
