Characteristics
Silica Matting Agent is commonly used in the production of matte paper coatings. It is a fine particle material that is added
to the coating formulation to create a rough surface texture, resulting in a matte appearance.
The main purpose of using silica Matting Agent in matte paper coatings is to reduce the glossiness and shine of the paper
surface. This is achieved by scattering and diffusing light, which creates a soft, non-reflective finish.
Silica matting agents are typically made of amorphous silica particles with a specific particle size distribution. The particle
size and shape of the silica particles play a crucial role in determining the level of matting effect achieved.
Matte paper coating can help to improve the durability and longevity of printed materials. The coating acts as a protective
layer, guarding against smudges, fingerprints, and scratches. This makes matte coated paper a popular choice for products
such as brochures, business cards, postcards, and book covers.
Matting agents are additives used in matte paper coatings to create a smooth, non-reflective surface. These agents work by
reducing the gloss and shine of the coating, resulting in a matte finish. Here are some commonly used matting agents for matte
paper coatings:
1. Silica: Silica is a common matting agent used in matte paper coatings. It is available in different particle sizes and can be
added to the coating formulation to achieve the desired level of matting.
2. Polyethylene Wax: Polyethylene wax is another matting agent used in matte paper coatings. It helps to reduce the gloss and
provide a smooth, matte finish to the paper surface.
3. Matting Resins: Matting resins are specially designed polymers that can be added to paper coatings to create a matte
appearance. These resins typically have a high molecular weight and low solubility, which helps in reducing the gloss of the
coating.
4. Organic Matting Agents: Organic matting agents, such as synthetic polymers or natural materials like starch, can also be used
in matte paper coatings. These agents work by scattering light and reducing the reflection, resulting in a matte finish.
5. Matting Agents Blends: Sometimes, a combination of different matting agents is used to achieve the desired level of matting in
matte paper coatings. This can help in fine-tuning the matte effect and improving the overall appearance of the coated paper.
It is important to note that the choice of matting agent depends on various factors, including the desired level of matting, coating
formulation, and printing process. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a coating specialist or supplier to select the most
suitable matting agent for your specific application.
USING TIPS:
* Recommend dosage is 3%-8%. (Please adjust the dosage according to the actual product.) * As different formulations and conditions, suggest the user to test and make sure the dosage before using.
