Water-based coating matting agents offer several advantages over solvent-based options. They are more environmentally
friendly, as they do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to air pollution. Water-based coatings
also tend to have lower odor and are easier to clean up. Additionally, water-based coatings are often preferred for
applications where a matte or satin finish is desired, such as furniture, cabinetry, and automotive interiors.
Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is often used in water-based coatings for various reasons. It is a naturally occurring
compound that is found in many types of rocks and sand.
1. Durability: Silicon dioxide provides a hard, durable finish to coatings. It increases the toughness and scratch resistance
of the coating, making it more long-lasting.
2. Gloss and Clarity: Silicon dioxide improves the gloss and clarity of coatings. It can give a clear, shiny finish to surfaces.
3. Weather Resistance: Silicon dioxide can enhance the weather resistance of coatings. It can protect surfaces from UV
radiation, rain, and other environmental factors.
4. Non-Toxic: Silicon dioxide is non-toxic and safe to use. It does not release any harmful substances into the environment.
5. Versatility: Silicon dioxide can be used in a variety of water-based coatings, including paints, varnishes, and sealants.
It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
6. Cost-Effective: Silicon dioxide is relatively inexpensive, making it a cost-effective choice for many manufacturers.
In conclusion, silicon dioxide is a valuable ingredient in water-based coatings. It contributes to the durability, appearance,
and performance of the final product.
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.
