Overview
PARALOID™ KF-710 is a gloss control agent designed for both rigid and flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounders, masterbatches, extruders, and molders. This special gloss modifier uniformly lowers the gloss level without the necessity to emboss or mechanically post treat the PVC formulation. This grade can also reduce the gloss levels of extruded acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) sheets.
