Applications:
1. Matting Effect: The primary function of silica matting agent is to scatter light through the micro-nanostructure on its surface, achieving a reduction in reflection and providing a matte or muted appearance to the material surface, as opposed to a shiny gloss.
2. Increased Slip Resistance: In some applications, silica matting agents can also enhance the slip resistance of the surface, making it more suitable for areas where reducing sliding friction is important.
3. Coatings and Inks: In the manufacturing of coatings and inks, silica matting agents are widely used to adjust the glossiness and appearance of the coating. This is crucial for applications such as wood coating, furniture surface treatment, etc., where a reduction in gloss is desired.
4. Plastic Products: Silica matting agents are also used to modify the surface gloss of plastic products, meeting diverse customer requirements, such as in plastic packaging, injection-molded products, and more.
5. Rubber Products: In rubber products, silica matting agents can be employed to alter the glossiness and feel of the rubber surface.
