Technical Support & FAQ

Direct answers for formulators and procurement engineers regarding GMATT U800 performance.

Q1: How does GMATT U800 improve the transparency of UV-curable coatings?

A: By utilizing an optimized particle refractive index. Engineered using a high-purity gel process, it delivers ultra-transparent films even at high loading levels, allowing natural wood or PVC textures to remain highly visible.

Q2: Why is low oil absorption critical for 100% UV formulations?

A: It prevents viscosity spikes and maintains rheological flow. GMATT U800 features a controlled oil absorption of 130 – 180 g/100g, allowing formulators to achieve high matting efficiency in solvent-free systems without compromising leveling.

Q3: Is GMATT U800 easy to disperse in high-viscosity UV resins?

A: Yes. It requires only standard high-speed stirring. It integrates seamlessly using a dissolver, eliminating the need for intensive bead milling and significantly reducing processing time and energy consumption.

Q4: How does GMATT U800 enhance the mechanical durability of the cured film?

A: It acts as a structural reinforcing filler. By strengthening the polymer matrix, it provides exceptional scratch resistance and abrasion endurance, which is crucial for high-traffic surfaces like PVC flooring.

Q5: Does GMATT U800 affect the curing speed or stability of UV coatings?

A: No. It is chemically inert and maintains shelf stability. With a stable pH (6.0 – 8.0) and specialized surface treatment, it ensures minimal impact on photoinitiator activity and the chemical curing process.
