MATTE PAPER COATING-3

How can pure silica dioxide powder works in matte paper coating？

Pure silica dioxide powder is commonly used in various industries, including photography and painting. It is often used as a matting agent in matte

photo painting to create a smooth, non-reflective surface.

When added to paint or varnish, silica dioxide powder helps to reduce the glossiness and shine of the finish, resulting in a matte or satin appearance.

This is particularly useful in photography, where glare and reflections can detract from the intended image.

Silica dioxide powder is finely ground and has a high refractive index, which means it scatters light effectively. This scattering of light helps to reduce

the reflective properties of the painted surface, resulting in a matte finish.

To use silica dioxide powder in matte photo painting, it is typically mixed into the paint or varnish in small amounts. The exact ratio will depend on the

desired level of matte effect and the specific product being used.It is important to note that pure silica dioxide powder should be handled with care, as

it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested. It is recommended to wear protective gloves and a mask when working with this substance.

Overall, pure silica dioxide powder is a valuable tool for achieving a matte finish in photo painting. Its light-scattering properties help to reduce glare and

reflections, resulting in a smooth, non-reflective surface that enhances the visual impact of the artwork.

What is matte paper coating？

Matte coating is also called as matt coating. It belongs to a coating type which has low glossy value. Comparing with glossy coating and semigloss coating,

matte coating has low surface reflection ability. So using matte coating on paper's surface will look softer, delicate, will not have a strong reflective effect.

Matte coating has several characters as below.

1.Low glossy value: the glossy value in matte coating is often between 5% to 30% which is lower than glossy coating's glossy value. This means it will not

perform strong mirror reflection effect.

2. Good decoration: the color and quality of matte coating is more natural which can hide the objects' minor imperfections and unevenness.

3. Easy to clean: Although matte paint has a lower glossiness, modern matte paint products tend to have good dirt resistance and easy cleaning properties,

and daily stains can be removed by gently wiping.

4. Protective: Matte paint usually has good waterproof and dustproof properties, which can effectively protect the wall from environmental factors and extend the

service life of the wall.

5. Environmental protection: There are many environmentally friendly matte paints on the market, which are made of environmentally friendly materials, reduce

the emission of harmful substances, and are more friendly to the environment and human health.

Matte paint is widely used in home decoration, commercial space design and various interior decorations, especially suitable for occasions that pursue simplicity
