Waterborne Matting Agent
CAS Number: 112926-00-8
Waterborne matting agent is a specially engineered silica-based powder optimized for use in waterborne coatings, lacquers, and varnishes to achieve controllable matte and satin surface finishes. The surface-treated, narrow particle size distribution ensures excellent anti-settling properties and smooth incorporation without degrading coating transparency or clarity. It is suitable for wood coatings, plastic coatings, and decorative paints where consistent gloss reduction is required.
