Polysaccharide additive for wood coatings Public Tobias Niederleitner BU Additives BL Waxes Technical Marketing Formulators/Coatings&Inks/ Adhesives 17.09.2013
22 What is a Polysaccharide? Polysaccharide consist of many monosaccharide. These monosaccharide are linked with so called glycosidic linkages. There are plenty of different possibilities and combinations. The pictures show just examples of the most common monosaccharide and the 1,4 glycosidic linkage of glucose. Glucose Fructose Polysaccharide Further common monosaccharide (hexose): rhamnose, mannose, galactose, altrose,
23 Polysaccharide additive The micronized Poysaccharide is an additive for wood coatings with a mean particle size diameter of approximately 30µm and no melting point. The nature of this micronized Polysaccharide creates a smooth and soft touch surface like untreated wood. With this additive there is no compromise between wood touch and protection by a coating. By adding this Polysaccharide you can increase the coefficient of friction combined with outstanding scratch resistance performance especially in water based formulations.
