Other Factors Influencing Gloss
Since the addition level of matting agents
required to achieve a desired gloss level
depends on the amount and the dynamics
of film shrinkage that occurs during drying,
the matting efficiency of SYLOID® matting
agents can also be influenced by:
-
The actual resin system (with different cure
mechanisms)
- Solids content (or amount of volatile
compounds such as solvent)
- The type of solvent (with different vapor
pressure)
- The drying method (fast or slow
drying)
