XG607C Matting Additive Formulation
The reaction percentage of this matting agent with TGIC is 10:1 and it is suitable for 15–50% gloss at 60°.Select the gloss range you need according to the table below:
| Dosage | Gloss range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| < 1 % | No matting will achieve | Dosage less than 1% is not recommended |
| 1 % | 45–50% | – |
| 2 % | 35–45% | – |
| 3 % | 25–35% | – |
| 4 % | 18–25% | – |
| 5 % | 15–18% | – |
| 5 % < | – | Dosage more than 5% might damage the paint surface. |
- The above table is not certain; the actual gloss also depends on the resin.

Hybrid Polyester resin (60-40)
For example, if it is intended to achieve (20 to 30%) gloss in a formulation with TGIC polyester resin, bellow steps should be taken:
- Total amount of resin: 60 Wt%
- Dosage of matting agent: 5% (according to desired gloss)
- Type of resin: 93/7 polyester resin (CP-9411)
- Due to the fact that this matting agent reacts with TGIC the TGIC in the formulation should be increased by one unit for every 10 unit of the matting agent.
- Calculated total amount of resin is 55.8% (60*0.93 = 55.8).
- Therefore, the total amount of TGIC will be 4.7 (4.2 + 0.5 Reaction with matting agent = 4.7)
