International Matting Additive 750ml

Matting Additive can be added to International Paint finishes and varnishes; and depending on the mix ratio between the product and the additive, a variety of gloss, satin or matt effects can be achieved.

The level of gloss will decrease where the amount of Matting Additive is increased. The opacity of the chosen finish will be affected once the clear Matting Additive is added. Apply the standard finish first and finish off with the mixed (matted) material as a last coat, or apply multiple coats until full opacity is achieved.

The addition of Matting Additive to a finish or varnish will not affect the drying or overcoating characteristics of the product. It will not affect the durability of the finished surface. As with all the types of reducedgloss coatings, the resulting finish will not have the same stay clean properties as a full gloss coating. If all the mixed (matted) material is not used it may be used at a later date. Simply stir well before use.

Mixing Guidelines:

Toplac:
• 25% addition of the Matting Additive by volume to achieve up to a 30% reduction in gloss
• 50% addition of the Matting Additive by volume to achieve up to a 80% reduction in gloss
• 75% addition of the Matting Additive by volume to achieve up to a 95% reduction in gloss

For large areas, ensure full required volume of matted paint is mixed prior to commencing application.
Matt appearance may vary with colour.
