Matting agent concentration

Users will usually test more than one quality of matting agent. They will evaluate products, different in chemical composition, production and concentration, and recognize during incorporation, differences in dispersing properties. Graphic 1 demonstrates the influence of the average particle size and concentration of a matting agent on the gloss effect.

• 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.
