Silica Matting Agent is commonly used in Water-Based Canvas coatings to create a matte or low gloss finish. Silica
matting agents are fine particles of silica that are dispersed in the coating formulation. When applied to the canvas,
these particles create a rough surface texture, which diffuses light and reduces the glossiness of the coating.
Water-based Canvas coatings are preferred over solvent-based coatings due to their low VOC (volatile organic
compounds) content and environmental friendliness. Silica matting agents are compatible with water-based systems
and can be easily incorporated into the coating formulation.
The amount of silica Matting Agent used in the coating formulation can be adjusted to achieve the desired level of
matte finish.
Higher concentrations of silica particles will result in a more pronounced matte effect, while lower concentrations will
create a subtle sheen reduction.
Silica matting agents offer several benefits in water-based canvas coatings, including:
1. Matte appearance: Silica particles create a non-reflective surface, giving the canvas a matte finish.
2. Improved scratch resistance: The rough surface texture created by silica particles can enhance the coating's scratch
resistance, protecting the canvas from damage.
3. Enhanced color stability: Silica matting agents can help improve the color stability of the coating by reducing light reflection
and preventing color fading.
4. Improved adhesion: Silica particles can improve the adhesion of the coating to the canvas, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Overall, silica matting agents are an effective and commonly used additive in water-based canvas coatings to achieve a matte
or low gloss finish while maintaining the desired properties of the coating.
