Censil361C is the grade we map to SYLOID® ED 4 — a universal semi-matte to matte matting agent for waterborne wood and plastic coatings.
Quick answer
Censil361C runs at d50 5.9 – 6.2 μm, wax-modified, with 1.6 – 1.8 mL/g pore volume and 250 – 280 m²/g surface area. We could not locate a published Grace datasheet for a grade designated SYLOID® ED 4, so this page states the Censil specification only rather than printing reference figures we cannot source. Send us the grade name exactly as it appears on your drum or COA and we will map it properly.
Each column reproduces figures from the publishing manufacturer’s own documentation, cited below the table.

Datasheet parity is the starting point, not the proof. A 1:1 replacement is confirmed on your own line: run the Censil grade at the same dosage as your current import, compare gloss at 60° and 85°, clarity on a dark panel, touch and can stability — then fine-tune dosage within ±0.3%. Typical evaluation cycle is 1–2 weeks, and we ship a free 2 kg sample with a 1:1 benchmark sheet for exactly this.
Because we could not find a Grace-published datasheet for a grade designated SYLOID® ED 4. Grace's EMEA product range lists ED 2, ED 3, ED 5, ED 30, ED 40, ED 44, ED 50, ED 52, ED 56 and ED 80. Rather than print reference figures we cannot source, we state the Censil specification and ask you for the exact grade name.
The grade name exactly as printed on your drum, COA or purchase order, plus your resin system and target gloss. It may be a regional designation or a grade outside the EMEA range. We will map the 1:1 equivalent and issue the benchmark sheet against the correct reference.
Universal semi-matte and matte finishes in waterborne wood coatings, industrial wood coatings and general matte plastic-coating development. It is the lead grade for our Universal Stable solution — usually the first stage of an import-substitution programme.
