Matting Agent Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Flatting Agent
- Delustring Agent
- Dulling Agent
ChemTrade handles matting agent supplier Malaysia enquiries for formulators selecting additives to reduce surface gloss in paints, coatings, inks and finishes. A matting agent is a functional class rather than one chemical, so the requirement should identify the coating system and the desired surface result.
Common choices include untreated or surface-treated silica matting grades, while wax and polymer-based technologies serve other formulation needs. Selection can depend on particle characteristics, transparency or haze, dispersion, settling behaviour, scratch resistance and the target gloss at the intended loading.
Applications include architectural and industrial paints, wood finishes, powder coatings, printing inks, overprint varnishes, UV-curable coatings, textile finishes and plastic-film matting. The grade must be considered against the binder, carrier system, cure process and required film appearance.
Send the application, carrier system, target gloss, preferred chemistry, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery timing and commercial terms are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- untreated silica matting grade, surface-treated silica matting grade

- Fine powder or particulate additive, depending on chemistry and grade
Matting Agent grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Untreated silica matting grade | Fine powder | — | Gloss reduction in paint, coating, ink and varnish formulations where the formulator controls dispersion and settling. | — |

Matting Agent applications
Common questions about matting agent
Is a matting agent a single chemical?
No. Matting agent is a functional class that includes silica, wax and polymer-based options, as well as specialised systems for powder coatings. The suitable chemistry depends on the coating and the required film properties.
How do I select a matting agent for paint or coatings?
State the binder and carrier system, target gloss, cure process, desired transparency or haze, and any scratch, burnish or settling requirements. These details allow a suitable grade to be considered without treating every matting chemistry as interchangeable.
Can matting agents be used in waterborne, solventborne and UV systems?
Grades are selected for the relevant carrier and cure system. Include the full formulation type in the enquiry so compatibility, dispersion and the required surface finish can be matched to the application.
What information is needed for a matting agent quotation?
Provide the application, target gloss, chemistry preference, required quantity and delivery location. Packing, documentation and availability are confirmed with the quotation.
