A matte target is not only a gloss number. Material selection should also consider hand feel, film elasticity, abrasion and scratch performance, hydrolysis requirements and the customer’s coating process.
For synthetic leather and related coating systems, a matte requirement normally sits alongside tactile and durability targets. The most useful project brief combines the desired appearance with the substrate, coat position, hand feel, abrasion / scratch tests, hydrolysis requirement and process conditions.
RU-6880
The current FAST TDS positions RU-6880 as a matte polyurethane resin based on polycarbonate chemistry. It documents abrasion, scratch, cold and hydrolysis resistance directions while describing a soft, elastic film.
Final gloss, hand feel and durability depend on the complete customer formulation, substrate and processing conditions. Website information supports screening, not a final formulation guarantee.
Gloss range or reference sample, color, transparency / opacity needs and tactile target.
Required abrasion, scratch, hydrolysis, cold or flex test method and acceptance criteria.
No. The target appearance must be evaluated together with hand feel, durability and the actual coating process.
RU-6880. Its current TDS identifies it as a polycarbonate-based matte polyurethane resin.
No. Final appearance depends on the complete formulation, coating build, substrate and processing conditions.
