Matting agents for paints and coatings

Matting agent is a additive  that can eliminate the gloss of chemical fibers. It has a different refractive index from chemical fibers, so it can reduce the reflection of light. It is a functional additive that reduces the gloss by changing the optical properties of the coating surface. It has the characteristics of good chemical properties, good dispersion, stable storage, and small dosage. It is widely used in coatings, inks, plastics and other fields. At the same time, it can also be used in conjunction with a repair agent to repair leather surface defects, and can also cover imperfect coatings, covering up the defects of the coating used and the defects of the substrate itself.

Features

• Its refractive index is close to that of resin, and does not affect the transparency of varnish and the color of paint;
• It has good chemical stability and does not affect the storage and curing of paint;
• It has good dispersibility and is stable in storage;
• It is used in small amounts, and adding a small amount can produce strong matting properties.

Typical application areas

• Industrial coatings: Matt coatings for automotive interiors and mechanical equipment to improve wear resistance.
• Printing inks: Packaging printing, book covers to avoid reflections that interfere with reading.
• Plastic products: Home appliance housings, consumer electronics products, to create a high-end matte texture.
• Leather processing: Sofas, luggage coatings, with both soft touch and anti-fouling properties.

Matting agent is a key additive to improve product texture and functionality. Correct selection can significantly reduce costs and optimize effects. Welcome to contact our China AAB Group technical team to provide you with customized solutions!
