XG603-1A Matting Additive Formulation

The reaction ratio of this matting agent with Epoxy Resin is approximately 1:8–10, and it is suitable for achieving 5–70% gloss at 60° (5–10% in pure epoxy systems and 10–70% in hybrid systems).

Select the gloss range you need according to the table below:
DosageGloss rangeDescription
< 1%No matting will achieveDosage less than %1 is not recommended
1 %50-70%
2 %30-50%
3 %20-30%
4 %10-20%
5 %7-10%For pure epoxy system use only
6 %5-7%For pure epoxy system use only
6% <Dosage more than %6 might damage the paint surface
  • The above table is not certain, the degree of certain gloss also depends on the resin.
  • The epoxy equivalent should be in the range of 750-800. Gloss will change according to the epoxy equivalent.

Formulas

For example, to achieve a gloss level of 5–10% in a formulation using pure epoxy resin:

  • Total resin content: 60%

  • Matting agent dosage: 5% (depending on the desired gloss level)

  • Type of resin: Pure epoxy resin

  • We consider 50 parts of epoxy to react with 5 parts of matting agent (based on the fact that each 1 part of this matting agent reacts with 10 parts of epoxy resin).
