A coating with low gloss and high transparency is the basis for a matte finish, without affecting the color strength and thus, leading to a very natural wood look even with dark tones. The work presented here outlines the development and application data of an inherently matte, waterborne acrylic polymer.
This article demonstrates two separate methods for achieving burnish-resistant coatings: amine functional silica, which fits easily into existing manufacturing processes; and polysiloxane/silica dispersion, which requires a more complicated process to manufacture.
The new coating delivers a finer mica effect that enables an ultra matt surface to change appearance depending on the way light reflects on it, giving architects a quality finish that also offers superdurability.
