Acrylic matting resins are a class of acrylic resins capable of achieving low-gloss or matte finishes by modulating surface microstructure. Thanks to their excellent weatherability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties, they are widely used across various industrial sectors. Key application scenarios include:
Coatings Sector
Powder Coatings
Specifically designed for polyurethane powder coating systems, these resins can be paired with standard or super-durable hydroxyl-functional polyesters to achieve low-gloss levels (10–50%). They are widely used in matte powder coating applications requiring high weather resistance, such as automotive parts, exterior architectural decorations, and home appliances.
Water-based Wood Coatings
Functioning as self-matting resins, they are used directly in water-based, solid-color matte wood paints and can partially replace traditional matting agents. They offer a combination of efficient matting, scratch resistance, high transparency, block resistance, and stain resistance, meeting the matte coating requirements for various wood products.
Industrial and Architectural Coatings
Used for high-end matte coatings on industrial equipment and architectural interior/exterior walls. Certain high-performance water-soluble acrylic matting resins are suitable for specialized, high-end applications-such as marine vessels, automobiles, electromechanical equipment, home appliances, and aluminum profiles-filling a gap in the domestic market for such imported products.
Automotive and Transportation Industry
These resins are suitable for automotive body protective coatings and matte finishes on interior components. Leveraging their outstanding weatherability and UV resistance, they withstand long-term exposure to sun and rain while creating a soft, matte texture for vehicle interiors, thereby enhancing both tactile feel and visual quality.
