Recently, news of technological innovation has emerged in the field of silica matting agents. A new type of product with both high performance and environmental protection properties has completed industrialization testing, attracting widespread attention from the industry. Using natural quartz sand as raw material, the product is prepared by an improved composite process of gas phase method and precipitation method, which effectively solves the pain points of traditional matting agents such as easy agglomeration, uneven matting efficiency and poor compatibility with substrates.

In terms of performance, the refractive index of the new silica matting agent is highly matched with most coating and plastic systems. After adding, it can significantly improve the matte texture and surface flatness of products without affecting the mechanical properties and weather resistance of substrates. Particularly noteworthy is that the production process of the product has greatly reduced energy consumption and wastewater discharge, and the VOC content of the finished product is far lower than the industry standard, which is in line with the green development requirements under the current "dual carbon" policy.

In terms of market application, the new matting agent has been put into batch trial use in fields such as automotive OEM coatings, high-end furniture coatings and food-contact grade plastic products. Feedback from downstream enterprises shows that the product can simplify production processes, reduce comprehensive costs, and meet the demand of the terminal market for high-quality matte products. Industry insiders analyze that with the consumption upgrading and the tightening of environmental protection policies, silica matting agents are gradually replacing traditional inorganic matting materials such as talcum powder and calcium carbonate, and the market scale is expected to maintain a double-digit annual growth rate.

Industry experts said that this technological breakthrough not only improves the added value of silica matting agent products, but also promotes the technological iteration of the entire matting material industry. In the future, with the further deepening of technologies such as nano-modification and surface modification, silica matting agents will release application potential in more high-end manufacturing fields.
