Matting Agent For Waterborne Coatings And Varnishes

Description

A Matting Agent is a substance that is added to waterborne coatings and varnishes to reduce the gloss or shine of 

the finish. It is used to create a matte or satin appearance on the surface.

There are various types of matting agents available for waterborne coatings and varnishes, including:

1. Silica Matting Agents: These are the most commonly used matting agents. They are made from silica particles and 

provide excellent matting efficiency. Silica matting agents are available in different particle sizes to achieve different 

levels of gloss reduction.

2. Polymeric Matting Agents: These are synthetic polymers that are designed to reduce gloss and provide a smooth 

matte finish. They are often used in combination with silica matting agents to achieve the desired level of matting.

3. Wax Matting Agents: These are natural or synthetic waxes that are used to reduce gloss and provide a smooth, 

satin finish. Wax matting agents are often used in clear coatings and varnishes to enhance the appearance of wood 

surfaces.

4. Organic Matting Agents: These are organic compounds that are used to reduce gloss and provide a matte finish. They 

are often used in specialty coatings and varnishes where a specific level of matting is required.

When selecting a matting agent for waterborne coatings and varnishes, it is important to consider factors such as the 

desired level of gloss reduction, compatibility with the coating system, and the overall performance requirements of the 

finished product.
