Feature
Silica matting agents are widely used in the plastics industry as chemical auxiliaries to achieve a matte or satin finish on
plastic surfaces. These agents are typically composed of finely ground silica particles that are dispersed within a plastic
matrix.
The main function of silica matting agents is to reduce the gloss and shine of plastic surfaces by scattering light. This is achieved
through the high refractive index of silica particles, which causes light to be reflected and refracted in multiple directions, resulting
in a diffused reflection and a matte appearance.
Silica matting agents offer several advantages when used in plastics:
1. Matte finish: Silica particles effectively reduce the gloss and shine of plastic surfaces, providing a matte or satin appearance.
2. Scratch resistance: The addition of silica matting agents can improve the scratch resistance of plastic surfaces, making them
more durable…
