Silicon matting agents are additives used in water-based coatings to provide a matte or low-gloss finish. These agents are
typically made from silica or other silicon-based materials and are designed to reduce the glossiness of the coating surface.
Water-based coatings, such as paints and varnishes, often have a natural tendency to dry with a glossy finish. This can be
undesirable in certain applications where a matte or low-gloss appearance is desired. Silicon matting agents are used to modify
the surface properties of the coating, reducing its reflectivity and creating a matte or satin finish.
Silicon matting agents work by disrupting the smoothness of the coating surface, scattering light and reducing the glossiness.
They are typically added to the coating formulation in small quantities, usually between 1% to 10% by weight, depending on the
desired level of matting effect.
There are different types of silicon matting agents available, each with its own particle size and structure, which can affect the final appearance and performance of the coating. The choice of Matting Agent depends on factors such as the desired level of gloss
reduction, compatibility with the coating system, and other performance requirements.
In addition to providing a matte finish, silicon matting agents can also improve the scratch resistance and durability of the coating.
They can also enhance the coating's resistance to dirt, stains, and other environmental factors.
Overall, silicon matting agents are a valuable tool in the formulation of water-based coatings, allowing manufacturers to achieve
a wide range of finishes and meet various performance requirements.
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.
