Epoxy-Functional Silicone Microsphere Matting Agent

H-1904 epoxy-functional silicone microspheres are high-performance functional additives designed for use in inks, coatings, and related systems. They can significantly enhance the abrasion and scratch resistance of coatings while imparting an elegant matte appearance and a unique silky touch. Produced with advanced manufacturing technology, H-1904 features excellent dispersibility and compatibility, allowing it to easily integrate into various formulation systems. It effectively improves surface performance, enabling coatings to maintain a refined appearance with superior physical durability.

H-1904 offers flexible particle size options, customizable from 2.0 μm to 100.0 μm to meet diverse matting requirements. Generally, larger particle sizes produce stronger matting effects—ideal for applications requiring deep matte finishes—while smaller sizes (2.0–3.0 μm) are recommended for soft micro-matte finishes with smooth tactile feel and gentle visual appearance.

Application Areas

  • Provides surface matting effects
  • Slip and matting additive for solvent-based inks and coatings
  • Slip additive for UV and other 100% solid systems
  • Improves scratch and abrasion resistance

Usage Instructions

Dosage: Depending on desired feel and matting degree, the recommended addition level of H-1904 epoxy silicone microspheres is 1.0–15.0% of total ink or coating weight.

Incorporation: Disperse using a disperser, three-roll mill, or sand mill.

Note: If you are using it for water-based coatings, you can also directly use our water-based dispersion of epoxy-functional silicone microspheres, H-1304D. Simply add it to the water-based coating and stir until evenly dispersed.
