Slide 3: Top Three Challenges You Face With Your Current Additives
WHAT ARE THE TOP THREE CHALLENGES YOU FACE WITH YOUR CURRENT ADDITIVES? • Difficulty achieving uniform matting • Viscosity issues when using silica-based additives • Poor scratch resistance • Poor scuff resistance • Difficulty achieving balance between matte finish and durability • Limited chemical
Slide 4: Findings From a Recent Survey
FINDINGS FROM A RECENT SURVEY Challenges Faced With Current Additives Expected Benefits From the New Additive Difficulty achieving balance between matt finish and durability Better balance of matt finish and durability 31% 52% Viscosity issues when using silica-based additives Cost savings 30% 51% P
Slide 5: New Multi-Functional Additives Provide Significant Improvement Over Silica Based Matting Agents
NEW MUTI-FUNCTIONAL ADDITIVES (MFAS) PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER SILICA BASED MATTING AGENTS • A novel polyethylene-based micronized multifunctional matting agent additive • Preference for matte finish in the furniture and decorative segments is growing at accelerated pace globally • Consum
Slide 6: MFAs Provide Significant Improvement Over Silica-Based Matting Agents
MFAS PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER SILICA-BASED MATTING AGENTS • Ease of dispersion, even the ability to post add In Paint • Less dust generation Manufacturing • Less viscosity build • Efficient and more durable Gloss Reduction • Improved surface properties: Mar, Abrasion, Rub, Color Transfer
Slide 7: Appearance and Gloss
APPEARANCE AND GLOSS Light Receiver Source Gloss: Amount of light reflected from the surface. Matting: Amount of light scattered and not reflected from the surface Matting Agents The coating film has initial gloss – Matting Agents will reduce that gloss to desired level © 2026 Solstice Advanced Mate
