Matting agentIt is an organically treated chemical agent. Commonly used categories are silica, talc, low molecular thermoplastic resin, etc., which is characterized by easy dispersion.Matting agents are usually used in coating additives to reduce the gloss of coating films.
A matting agent is a liquid with light yellow and black colors. The matting mechanism is that when light hits a rough surface, the reflected light will scatter and the gloss will decrease.Matting agents and matting agents are also suitable for use in inks, resins, coatings, etc.
In today's coating and ink industry, it is common to use matting agents to make products.Such as the metal soap commonly used in early people as a matting agent.Metal soaps are incompatible with paints, causing fine particles to suspend on the surface. After film formation, the reflection on the surface of the paint film is reduced to play a matting purpose.Wax is also one of the widely used early matting agents. A certain amount of wax powder is added to the preparation of the product. After the solvent evaporates, the wax precipitates and suspends on the surface of the coating film to form a rough surface, thereby matting.In the later years, the combination of wax powder and silica was better.
