Matting in the paint industry and associated challenges
Matting has become a prominent trend in the world of paints and coatings. This involves reducing gloss to achieve a matt finish, creating a stylish and contemporary look and adding a touch of elegance to a wide range of surfaces.
Mineral fillers influence the gloss of the surface, but the challenge is to find the right functional filler offering the highest flexibility without facing too much of a trade-off in terms of performance parameters, sustainability, or health and safety aspects in the intended application.
