Colors & Finish

matte powder coatings offer excellent weatherability, UV resistance, corrosion resistance, anti-fouling properties, and scratch resistance. They are widely applied across multiple fields including household appliances, automotive, construction, furniture, medical, and military sectors. Our matte powder coatings provide a rich selection of colors, combining multi-level gloss and diverse textural effects, and can be customized according to customer requirements.

Matte powder coatings are a type of coating characterized by their unique low-gloss appearance. In materials engineering, they are classified as flat or matte coatings, typically featuring a pigment volume concentration above 45% and a film gloss level below 30%. Their low-gloss characteristics originate from factors such as higher surface roughness of the coating film, uneven pigment particle distribution, and imbalance during solvent evaporation. The resulting surface exhibits a soft and subdued visual effect.

Similar to other types of powder coatings, matte powder coatings are primarily composed of resins, curing agents, pigments, fillers, and various additives. During production, the coating is applied evenly to the substrate through electrostatic spraying and then cured by heating to form a strong, continuous film.To achieve the matte effect, appropriate amounts of matting agents (such as fluororesins and silicates), along with aluminum stearate and wax-based matting additives, are incorporated during formulation. In 2018, the industry developed high-wear-resistant and recoatable UV-curable matte coatings, formulated with prepolymers and matting waxes. By precisely controlling the proportion of these additives, the gloss level of the coating can be finely adjusted to meet different application requirements. As a result, matte powder coatings can deliver the desired visual appearance without compromising other essential performance properties.

Compared with traditional liquid coatings, powder coatings contain no solvents, and therefore do not release harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during application, providing a significant environmental advantage. This makes them an increasingly preferred choice in a market with rising environmental awareness.

Thanks to their distinctive aesthetic qualities, outstanding durability, and environmentally friendly characteristics, matte powder coatings have become increasingly popular in today’s coating market. They not only meet consumer demands for beauty, durability, and sustainability but also provide excellent weather resistance, UV resistance, corrosion resistance, stain resistance, and scratch resistance. They are widely used in home appliances, automobiles, architecture, furniture, and many other sectors. Semi-gloss coatings are particularly suitable for indoor environments requiring soft lighting—such as hospitals and hotels—while full matte coatings are used in military equipment to enhance camouflage performance.

With continuous technological advancements, the application potential and market space for matte powder coatings are expected to expand further, making them an important development trend in the coating industry.
