Feature
Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is commonly used as a Matting Agent in wood coatings to create a matte or
satin finish on the surface. It is a fine, white powder that is added to the coating formulation to reduce the gloss and
increase the surface roughness.
The main function of silicon dioxide as a matting agent is to scatter and diffuse light, thereby reducing the reflection
and gloss of the coated wood surface. This helps to achieve a more subtle, non-reflective appearance, which is desired
in certain wood coating applications.
Silicon dioxide matting agents are typically added to solvent-based or water-based coating systems. They are compatible
with various resin systems, including acrylics, polyurethanes, and alkyds. The amount of matting agent added to the
coating formulation can be adjusted to achieve the desired level of gloss reduction.
In addition to providing a matte finish, silicon dioxide matting agents also offer other benefits in wood coatings. They can
improve scratch resistance, enhance film hardness, and increase the overall durability of the coating. Furthermore,
they can act as thickeners and improve the flow and leveling properties of the coating.
Overall, silicon dioxide matting agents are widely used in wood coatings to create a smooth, non-reflective surface
with improved durability and scratch resistance.
