Matt to ultra-matte paint surfaces require matting agents with the highest efficiency. That’s were synthetic, micronized silica of the sylysia range come into play. They are characterized by a controlled porosity and a narrow particle size distribution. The extensive range of unmodified or surface-treated grades makes sylysia matting powders suitable for many modern applications.In addition to pure surface matting, sylysia silica are also used for other surface effects such as anti-blocking and improved printability of surfaces.

Finma-Sil powder-based matting agents are often difficult to handle and only show their performance, if they are well-dispersed in the later formulation. This is not always guaranteed, especially in aqueous coating systems.Our finma-sil product line includes a variety of water-based matting agent concentrates that target these problems. They come delivered ready to use, with optimum and controlled dispersing fineness and allow easy, dust-free handling and dosing.Finma-sil concentrates are also used to enhance the feel of coating surfaces. The individual products of the finma-sil series differ in the matting efficiency as well as in the material hardness and size of the active ingredients.
