Introduction
Matting agents are used to reduce the gloss in a variety of coatings applications. The application segments for silica
gel matting agents include coil coatings, industrial wood coatings, general industrial and automotive coatings as well
as printing inks, leather/textile coatings and decorative coatings. Coil, wood and furniture coatings are the applications
with the largest volumes, but radiation-cured coatings and other coating systems as well as printing inks also employ silica
gels. The solvent borne paint sector has been more important for silica gel than waterborne coatings. However, the pressure
to reduce VOC emissions and formulate solvent-free paints has led to the development of grades of silica gel that are suitable
for formulation in powder, ultraviolet and waterborne coatings.
Upcoming environmental concerns - leading more and more into legislative measures - support the technology trend towards environmentally friendly coatings systems. Synthetic silica gel Matting Agent products are non-hazardous substances both from
their chemistry and their physical properties, and thus they are not a matter of concern regarding any of these legislations.
