Matting Agent

Matting-Agent

The matting agent is prepared by hydrothermal treatment of colloidal silica. The silica produced after hydrothermal process is having relatively soft morphology. By treatment the silica surface can be partially modified with organic (waxes) or inorganic material for better dispersion in the reaction medium.

The higher the matting agent dosing in a Coating, the stronger the matting effect. The matting power of matting additives depends on their Chemical, Morphological, and Physical properties.
