Water Based Coating Curing Silica Matting Agent

Water-based coating curing silica matting agents are additives that are used in water-based coatings to create a matte or 

low-gloss finish. These matting agents are typically made from silica, a naturally occurring mineral, and are designed to 

reduce the glossiness of the coating by scattering light.

The curing process of water-based coatings involves the evaporation of water and the crosslinking of the polymer particles 

to form a solid film. During this process, the matting agents become embedded in the coating film, creating a rough surface 

that diffuses light and reduces the glossiness.

Silica matting agents are available in different particle sizes and shapes, allowing for control over the level of gloss reduction. 

Smaller particle sizes generally result in a higher level of matting, while larger particles can provide a more subtle effect.

In addition to reducing gloss, silica matting agents can also improve the scratch resistance and durability of the coating film. 

They can also enhance the coating's resistance to chemicals and abrasion.

Water-based coatings are commonly used in various applications, such as furniture, automotive, and architectural coatings.

The use of silica matting agents in these coatings allows for the creation of different aesthetic effects, ranging from a high gloss 

to a matte or satin finish.

Overall, water-based coating curing silica matting agents play a crucial role in achieving the desired appearance and performance 

of water-based coatings.

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.
