The Role Of Matte PU Paint With Matte Wax Powder

Customer consultation: Adding more matte powder to matte PU will cause flocculent matte and cotton-like appearance. I hope that matte wax can solve this problem. The role of adding matte wax powder to matte PU paint is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Matting effect
Matt wax powder is a common matte powder component. The matte effect can be achieved by controlling the size and shape of the particles. Adding an appropriate amount of matte wax powder to matte PU paint can make its surface present a soft matte effect, thereby eliminating reflection and gloss, making the coating surface softer and more natural.

2. Improve anti-pollution and adhesion
Matt wax powder can not only reduce gloss, but also improve the anti-pollution and adhesion of the coating surface. This is because the matte wax powder forms a film-like structure in the paint, which can increase the roughness of the paint surface, thereby improving its resistance to pollutants. At the same time, the matte wax powder can also enhance the adhesion between the paint and the substrate, making the coating more solid and durable.

3. Enhance scratch resistance
Matt wax powder also has the function of enhancing the scratch resistance of the paint. After adding matte wax powder to the paint, a protective film can be formed, which can resist scratches and wear from external objects, thereby extending the service life of the paint.

4. Does not affect the adhesion of recoating
Adding an appropriate amount of matte wax powder will not affect the adhesion of matte PU paint. This means that after the coating is dry, it can be easily re-coated without causing a decrease in the adhesion between the coatings.

5. Transparency and dispersibility

Some specific matte wax powders can provide better transparency and excellent dispersibility when added to the paint system. This is especially important for applications that require the transparency of the paint.

In summary, adding matte wax powder to matte PU paint can significantly improve the performance of the paint, including matte effect, anti-pollution, adhesion, scratch resistance and transparency. However, the amount of matte wax powder added needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation to ensure the best coating effect.
