SL-685 Agent 7631-86-9 For Wood

What is matte effect in daily life?

We can see many goods with matte effect in daily life. We just ignore them when we pass by for life. Normally we can also

see many furnitures in our house is covered with matte effective coating. Then what does that mean for "matte effect" ?

It just like colours which can easy to attract our sights to form a subjective impression. It might cause vision obstruction  

when a light reflects from a smooth surface to our eyesight. 

How can silicon dioxide used in wood coating?

SiO2 powder is also called as silicon dioxide or Silica Powder. It is a chemical material that often used as additive.Our 

silicon dioxide product SL-685 can be used in wooden formulations. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is usually used as a filler or 

Thickener in wood coatings. It can improve the hardness, wear resistance and scratch resistance of the paint film, and 

also increase the smoothness and hiding power of the paint surface. Silica particles can form a protective layer to 

prevent moisture from penetrating into the wood, thereby extending the service life of wood. In the formulation of wood 

coatings, silica can be used alone or mixed with other ingredients such as pigments, resins, solvents, etc. Common types 

of silica include Fumed Silica (such as white carbon black), Precipitated Silica, etc. However, when using it, it is necessary 

to adjust its addition amount according to the specific product requirements and paint system to ensure a balance 

between film performance and construction performance.

When using our SL-685silica Matting Agent into the wooden paints can create some benifits as below.

1. Improve the paints' durability - silicon dioxide can enhance the topcoats hardeness and scratch resistance which can 

make it prevent from scratch damages.

2. Increase the paints' moisture resistance - silicon dioxide is hydrophobic that means that it repels water. Adding silicon

dioxide into the paints can help to create a transparent and water resistance film. With this special film, it can decrease

the possibilty of wooden damages by water spill.

3. Enhance the paints' adhension - silicon dioxide can improve the ability of paints' adhesion which can make sure the

paints cover on the wooden surface tightly.

4. Prevent the paints from UV radation damages - silicon dioxide has an excellent ability of UV radation resistance. This

can protect the wood from discoloration after being shone with the sunlight.

5. Decrease the situation of wooden cracking and warping - silicon dioxide can decrease the wooden cracking situations

due to the unstable temperature and wetness.

When using silicon dioxide into the wooden paints' formulations, it is so important to allow the guidelines to produce the paints.
