Texturing Powders for Inks and Coatings
Ink and Texture Coating: High Molecular Weight Polyolefins (HMWPE)
Shamrock Technologies offers a variety of texturing additives to provide the perfect combination of texture and compatibility. Powder texture additives add ink texture and give texture to coatings.
Benefits of Texture Power Additives
Different texture additives offer different types of effects and benefits.
- Decorative appearance
- Anti-skid
- Matting
- Feel / hapticity
- Water repellency
- Abrasion resistance
Ink and Texture Coating: High Molecular Weight Polyolefins (HMWPE)
For air-dry and Baked Coatings requiring nonskid or high COF, smooth or soft feel, and mar / abrasion resistance, we recommend the use of High Molecular Weight PE. This textured coating additive is best for Screen inks, Decorative, General Industrial, and Coil Coatings.

Texture Coating: Polypropylene (PP)
For air / forced dried coatings requiring Nonskid or high COF, matting, controlled feel and abrasion resistance. Polypropylene is recommended for wood, architectural, plastic and general industrial coatings.
Texture Powder: PowderTex
Sub-micron PTFE particles can be used to create a texturing effect, which allows for very efficient matting and micro-rough feel.
