1 3M Ceramic Microspheres Paints and Coatings Applications Profile The Start of a Better Finish 3

2 Other 3M Microspheres for specialty coatings 3M Ceramic Microspheres are one in a family of 3M microspheres. They have the broadest application for paints and powder coatings. 3M Glass Microspheres, however, offer enhancements for specialties such as high-build/low-slump coatings, reflective roof coatings, lower thermally conductive finishes, and low density roof coatings. For dispersal, use low shear mixing equipment and add during the let-down stage. The following is an overview of product characteristics. 3M Microspheres Product Descriptions Product Target Crush Strength 1 True Density 2 Particle Size 4 Distribution Effective Top Size 10th% 50th% 90th% 95th% Color 5 Comments Application Ideas K white Most economical 3M ceramic microsphere Low thermal conductive coatings S white Small particle size S white S white S white Smaller, tighter particle size range and higher strength than comparable K series S60 10, white High strength Caulks, sealants Spray applications S60HS 18, white Strongest glass microsphere 1 90% survival,psi 2 g/cc 3 ASTM D Microns by volume 5 Unaided eye Improved production enhanced performance

3 3M Ceramic Microspheres Eight ways to help you reduce costs while enhancing 3M Ceramic Microspheres are high-strength, inert fine particles with intrinsic hardness. 3M microspheres are engineered to help you reduce costs, increase solids, enhance properties, and improve processability. 1 Lower viscosity and improved flow Unlike many irregularly shaped fillers, 3M ceramic microspheres roll easily over one another, similar to ball bearings. This contributes to lower viscosity, better flow, and improved sprayability. 2 Higher filler loading to reduce costs With the lowest surface area to volume ratio of any shape, 3M ceramic microspheres reduce resin demand and increase volume loading capacity. Smaller spheres may fill voids between larger ones to enhance packing for higher solids/lower VOCs, and reduced costs. 3 Burnish resistance and hardness Mohs 7 hardness and spherical shape contribute to increased burnish resistance and hardness of the finished surface. Surfaces stay new looking longer to save the time and cost of touch-ups or repainting. With ordinary fillers, soft or jagged particles on the surface often break or wear away. Powder coating with a spherical dispersion improves material handling for consistently smooth surfaces. 3M Microspheres W-410 Calcium Carbonate High-scrub, crystalline silica-free interior paints maintain optical qualities after repeated cleaning Mica Wollastonite 4 Gloss control Many gloss control materials can increase viscosity. But increasingly higher levels of 3M ceramic microspheres can help incrementally lower gloss without significantly increasing viscosity in many applications. Military equipment requires a low-gloss camouflage finish that s resistant to abrasion and corrosion. Series G (gray) Series W (white)

4 paint and powder coating performance 5 Barrier effect Tight particle packing, combined with hardness and inertness, creates a durable, low-permeation film barrier against weather, corrosion and chemicals. 7 Radiation curable coatings To help improve productivity and depth of cure for UV-curable coatings, white 3M ceramic microspheres are UV transparent to 250nm. The microspheres allow transmission of the UV energy through the coating. Gray and white 3M ceramic microspheres also improve the viscosity and flow/leveling in E-beam coating applications. Radiation curable applications include: Potting compounds Patching compounds Wood coatings Overprints Powder coatings Adhesives Truck under-carriage coating combines lower VOCs, high solids, and corrosion resistance. Bridges and other exposed metal structures require a physical barrier against harsh environments. 6 Inert and free of crystalline silica Because of their inert composition, 3M Ceramic Microspheres are resistant to a variety of chemicals. Solid ceramic microspheres are also free of crystalline silica (hollow microspheres are not). Potential application UV-curable coatings for increased durability 8 Standard equipment for dispersing With high compression strength, 3M ceramic microspheres are best added during the grind. For optimum dispersion, sand, ball and roll mills are preferred. Equipment wear has been reported to be less than many irregularlyshaped mineral fillers of equal or lower hardness. Chemical storage tanks and piping need to present a clean, professional image while resisting harsh chemicals.

7 3 Novec Fluorosurfactant FC-4430 Product Information Introduction 3M Novec Fluorosurfactant FC-4430 is a non-ionic polymeric fluorochemical surfactant belonging to a class of coating additives which provide low surface tensions in organic coating systems that are best obtainable with fluorochemicals. Novec FC-4430 fluorosurfactant is an excellent wetting, leveling and flow control agent for a variety of waterborne, solvent-borne, high-solids and radiation curable organic polymer coating systems. Novec FC-4430 fluorosurfactant is soluble and compatible with most polymers and continues to be active throughout the drying or curing process. When used in waterborne polymer systems, Novec FC-4430 fluorosurfactant tends to reduce the aqueous/organic interfacial tension and remain surface active in the organic portion of the polymer system. Novec FC-4430 fluorosurfactant is the first in a new line of fluorochemical surfactants from 3M based on perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS). PFBS refers collectively to perfluorobutane sulfonyl compounds including perfluorobutane sulfonates. 3M believes PFBS-based surfactants, with only four perfluorinated carbon atoms, offer improved environmental properties.

8 3M Novec Fluorosurfactant FC-4430 Use Recommendations FC-4430 Static Surface Tension Recommended use level is between 0.05% and 0.3% active surfactant; however, use level can vary depending on the use and concentration of other additives and solvents in the formulation. Novec FC-4430 fluorosurfactant is effective in water-borne systems. It is suggested, however, that a 10-25% active surfactant solution be prepared with watermiscible solvent prior to addition. Recommended solvents include dipropylene glycol mono methyl ether (DPM), isopropyl alcohol, butyl cellusolve or other water-miscible solvents common to coating systems.
