Silica Dioxide Uses For Economical Colour With Paint

What difference between silica Matting Agent and resin when they are used in paint?

Silica matting agent and resin have competely differences like applications, properties and functions. 

* Silica matting agent

1. Properties: silica matting agent is normally is a granular object with high reflective valume and small particle size. This can make the light

scattering when it is shining on the paint's surface to reduce the paint's glossy.

2. Functions: the main function of silica matting agent is to reduce paint's glossy to make a matte surface. In addition, it can also improve paint's

resistances of scratches and tears. 

3. Applications: silica matting agent is mainly used in paints which need matte effect like wall paint, wooden paint and economic paint.

* Resin

1. Properties: resin is one of the important components of paint. It is a viscous liquid or solid composed of natural or synthetic high molecular

compounds. According to its own original source and chemical structure, resin can be classified into many types like alkyd resin, polyester resin,

epoxy resin, etc.

2.Functions: the main function of resin is to as adhesive agent. The pigment and filler are combined to form a stable film. Resin can affect

paint's properties like drying speed, hardness, flexibility and chemically durability.

3.Applications: resin is one of the key components of paint. Moslty all paints will contain resin. Different types of resin is suitable different

paints.For example, Epoxy resins are commonly used in industrial coatings that require high chemical resistance, while alkyd resins are

commonly used in home decoration coatings.

In addition, silica matting agent is mainly used in adjust the appearance of paints especially their glossy. 

Resin is the basic additvie in paints which determines the basic properties and characteristics of the coating. The two work together in the coating

formulation to give the coating the desired physical and chemical properties.

Why silica matting agent becomes ideal additive in economic paint?

Silica matting agents are fine particles of silica that are used to reduce the gloss or shine of a coating or paint. They are commonly used in various

industries, including paints, coatings, inks, and plastics.The main purpose of silica matting agents is to create a matte or satin finish on the surface

of a coating or paint. They work by scattering and diffusing light, which reduces the reflection and glossiness of the surface.

Silica matting agents are typically added to coatings or paints in small amounts, usually ranging from 1% to 10% by weight. The exact amount

depends on the desired level of matting effect.

There are different types of silica matting agents available, including precipitated silica, Fumed Silica, and silica gel. Each type has its own

characteristics and advantages, such as particle size, porosity, and surface treatment, which can influence the matting effect and other properties

of the coating or paint.

In addition to reducing gloss, silica matting agents can also provide other benefits, such as improving scratch resistance, enhancing adhesion, and

increasing hardness. They can also be used to control the flow and leveling of a coating or paint.

Overall, silica matting agents are an important additive in the coatings and paints industry, as they allow manufacturers to achieve a wide range of

desired finishes and properties in their products.

In economical site, silica dioxide is popular for its low cost and various choices.Silica dioxide can be got in sand which is one of the most abundant

minerals on Earth.

Comparing with other coating additives, choosing silica dioxide as additive is an ideal choice.Adding silica dioxide into the coating can reduce the

gloss and create a matte or satin finish.
