Matting Agent

10,00 

The Micronized Matting Agent creates a matte effect in the film when mixed with various varnishes. 

Introducing this additive into the varnish creates surface micro-roughness, which diffuses and reflects light, thereby reducing gloss. However, the final result also depends on the light absorption properties of the previously applied layers. As a result, the optical effect can vary in different systems. 

The Matting Agent should be added to the final layer of varnish (or, at most, in the last two layers if applied by hand).

Application Guidelines

These are short, general indications. For more detailed instructions, please download the Technical Data Sheet available for this product.

&&
1

Incorporate the Matting Agent into the liquid varnish with gentle stirring until a homogeneous, lump-free mixture is obtained. The dosage should be determined experimentally based on the varnish’s initial gloss and the desired matte effect. 

&&
2

As a guideline, dosage would be between 1% and 10% of the varnish weight, roughly the tip of a spatula per millilitre. Depending on the application method, 5% to 10% of solvent (such as OW Thinner for oil-based varnishes) should be added to improve application and film formation unless the varnish is already significantly diluted.

It is recommended that preliminary tests be conducted for dosage and application, especially when working with the product for the first time to familiarize yourself with its use. Avoid inhaling the dust.
