Product Advantages
- Offers a wide range of particle size options to meet different film effect requirements.
- Refractive index similar to most coating resins, enhancing compatibility.
- Reduces dependence on anti-settling agents and provides efficient gloss retention.
- Balanced matting and smooth surface effects.
- Excellent dispersibility and anti-adhesion properties.
- Fine texture with strong scratch resistance, reducing blooming phenomena.
- Suitable for both water-based and oil-based coatings.
Principle
After applying a coating containing a matting agent to the substrate surface, the matting agent is evenly distributed in the wet coating. As the solvent evaporates, the thickness of the coating gradually decreases, leading to shrinkage. The shrinkage rate of the matting agent is slower than that of the coating, resulting in a micro-rough surface on the coating. When light hits the surface, it creates diffuse reflection, producing a matte effect.
