Coating – Inks – Paint – Pigments

Micronized paint additives are fine powders or particles of various materials that have been processed to a micron-scale size (typically less than 10 micrometers) and are added to paint formulations to modify and enhance their performance.

Matting Agents: Micronized matting agents are added to paint formulations to reduce gloss and create a matte or satin finish. These additives disperse light unevenly, resulting in reduced reflectivity and a non-glossy appearance.

Anti-settling and Anti-sagging Agents: Micronized additives can improve the stability of paint formulations by preventing settling of pigments and reducing sagging or dripping during application. This is particularly important for high-viscosity or high-solids paints.

Thickening Agents: Micronized thickening agents are used to control the viscosity of paint formulations. They help achieve the desired consistency and rheological properties for various types of paint, including textured paints and coatings.

UV Absorbers and Stabilizers: Micronized UV absorbers and stabilizers are used to protect paints and coatings from UV degradation, helping to maintain colorfastness and prevent yellowing or fading.

The choice of micronized paint additive depends on the specific requirements of the paint formulation and the desired performance characteristics. These additives enable paint manufacturers to fine-tune their products to meet the needs of various applications, from architectural coatings to industrial and automotive finishes.
