From High Gloss to Matte, The Invisibility Master In The Paint Industry - Matte Powder

From high gloss to matte, the "invisible master" of the paint industry - matte powder

Today we are going to talk about a little secret in the paint industry. It is like a low-key magician, who can make the dazzling light become gentle with a gentle wave. Guess who it is? That's right, it's our protagonist - matte powder!

Initial experience of the magic of matte powder

Matte powder can reduce the reflection of light on the surface of the coating, thereby achieving the purpose of extinction. Imagine that the surface of the coating was originally shining like a mirror, but with the addition of matte powder, it feels like putting on an invisible cloak, becoming soft and low-key. This is the magic of matte powder!

Comparison rendering

Commonly used matting powders include ultrafine silica, talcum powder, aluminum stearate, etc. They are like seasonings in the world of coatings, blending unique flavors of semi gloss or matte according to different tastes (product uses). Moreover, the larger the particle size, the lower the gloss, but remember not to drink too much, as adding too much will affect the smoothness and strength of the coating!

Our carefully developed matting powder adopts advanced gel process and precipitation process to ensure that each matting powder has excellent performance. They are widely used in various fields such as wood coatings, industrial coatings, leather coatings, film coatings, electrophoretic paints, plastic paints, etc., adding a unique matte aesthetic to various products.

The Five Superpowers of Matte Powder

Suspension Master

Having excellent suspension and anti settling properties, it can maintain the uniformity and stability of the coating for a long time, rejecting delamination and precipitation.

Glossy Killer

Easily reduce the gloss of paint and ink, making bright and blind moments gentle~

Efficient dispersion

High extinction efficiency and good dispersibility coexist, evenly distributed in the coating system, ensuring that every part has the same matte texture.

Transparent Guardian

While reducing glossiness, the matting powder can also maintain the transparency and good hand feel of the coating, making the work visually more warm and delicate.

Durable little expert

Organic processed matting powder is scratch resistant and wear-resistant, making your product last forever.

Selection Tips for Matte Powder

Extinction efficiency vs. roughness

Large particle size is efficient but prone to roughness, finding the equilibrium point is key.

When choosing extinction powder, it is important to balance extinction efficiency and roughness. Generally speaking, the larger the particle size of the extinction powder, the higher the extinction efficiency, but it may also lead to rough surface of the paint film. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate particle size range according to actual needs.

Smooth texture

Organic treatment+fine particles, giving you a baby like touch.

Generally, extinction powder products with organic surface treatment have a better hand feel than those without treatment; The finer the particles of the matte powder product, the more delicate the feel in the paint film; The narrower the particle size distribution and the fewer large particles, the better the feel of the product.

Suspension performance

Anti settling agents can help, even if stored for a long time.

As the storage time of the coating prolongs, the extinction powder products will experience delamination and precipitation to a certain extent. The extinction powder products with organic surface treatment will have better anti settling performance. Therefore, when designing the formula, consideration should be given to how to avoid the sedimentation problem of matting powder, and if necessary, appropriate anti settling additives can be added.

Scratch resistant and wear-resistant

Organic processing is used to protect the paint film from damage.

Choosing extinction powder products that have undergone organic treatment and have excellent scratch and wear resistance can enhance the overall durability of the paint film.

Transparency performance

Transparency performance: Small particle size is good for transparency, but don't be greedy for too much, moderation is the key.

For coating systems that require transparency, it is more appropriate to choose extinction powder products with smaller particle size and moderate fine powder content. This can maintain transparency and achieve a certain extinction effect.

The Application Stage Show of Matte Powder

Special for UV curable coatings: Both roller coating and spray coating are fine, making it an excellent partner for UV paint!

LA XG81, LA XG921, LA XG981, etc. adopt unique production processes and organic surface treatments, suitable for different construction processes such as roller coating, spray coating, etc. The products have low oil absorption, high additives, good dispersibility, scratch resistance, and sedimentation resistance, and excellent extinction efficiency.

Application recommendations: UV wood paint, UV water-based paint, UV plastic paint, UV ink, etc.

Rubber paint exclusive: allowing plastic products to have a rubber like texture and touch.

Rubber paint is widely used in plastic products made of materials such as ABS, PVC, PC, PS, as well as hardware, metal, electric wood, wood, ceramics and other products coated with special primers. The sprayed product has a special soft, smooth, delicate, meaty touch and a rubber like texture.

LA XG816, LA XG824, and others have been widely used in rubber paint due to their special surface treatment, ultra-fine particle size, and concentrated particle size distribution. The products have strong scratch resistance, adhesion, impact resistance, self recovery, uniform and smooth paint film, chemical resistance, and can cover surface imperfections, defects, and water marks. Durable, fast drying, excellent workability, and easy construction.

Model recommendation:

Mid range: LA XG824, LA XG817, LA XG866

High end: LA XG721, LA XG543, LA XG549

Special for water-based coatings: environmentally friendly and efficient, with transparency and hand feel, making it the perfect choice for water-based systems.

LA XG1013, LA XG1016, and others are surface organic treated silica, which is a special extinction powder for water-based systems and can exhibit good transparency and hand feel in various coating systems. Its special processing technology makes the particle size distribution of the product narrower, with better water resistance, outstanding dispersion effect and anti precipitation, making it easier for the extinction powder to disperse in water-based systems. The product has a higher porosity, greatly improving the extinction efficiency.

Application recommendation: Water based wood paint, water-based industrial paint, water-based ink and other fields

Specialized for textile coatings: anti adhesive dispersion, a new favorite of decorative tapes.

LA XG761 and LA XG761M are special surface treated silica and are extinction powders specifically designed for textile coatings. They have good anti adhesion and good dispersibility, comparable to international brand extinction powders used in the industry.

Application recommendations: PU resin, PU film, textile coating, decorative tape and other fields.
