High Grade White Silica Matting Agent For Ink

Why to use Silica Matting Agent into ink?

High grade white silica matting agents are commonly used in ink formulations to provide a matte finish to the printed surface. 

These matting agents are made from high purity silica, which is processed to have a specific particle size distribution and 

surface area.

The main function of a silica Matting Agent in ink is to reduce the gloss and shine of the printed surface, resulting in a more 

matte appearance. This can be desirable for certain applications, such as packaging or labels, where a matte finish is 

preferred for aesthetic or functional reasons.

In addition to providing a matte finish, white silica matting agents also offer other benefits in ink formulations. They can improve

the scratch resistance and durability of the printed surface, enhance the color development and opacity of the ink, and improve 

the flow and leveling properties during printing.

When selecting a high grade white silica matting agent for ink, it is important to consider factors such as the desired level of 

matting effect, the particle size distribution and surface area of the silica, and the compatibility with other ink components. It is 

also important to ensure that the matting agent is manufactured using high quality raw materials and adheres to strict quality 

control standards.

Overall, high grade white silica matting agents are a valuable ingredient in ink formulations, providing a matte finish and 

enhancing the performance of the printed surface.

Usages of silica matting agent

1. Used as additive.

2. Contains no wax components and does not affect the recoat and transfer properties of the coating

3.The dosage is 1-5% of the total weight of the formulation, depending on the desired gloss, together with the other ingredients of the

formulation.Mix at high speed and extrude on an extruder.

4. The addition of accelerators/catalysts to the formulation to improve impact properties is not recommended as this may result in a rise

in gloss and a reduction in leveling.

Packaging, Storage and Precautions

1. Packed in plastic bags lined with paper bags, net weight 10 kg.

2. Store in a cool and dry place, keep the product sealed after use. This product is irritating to the respiratory tract, use dust mask, gloves

and other protective equipment when operating.
