Definitions
- the present invention relates to an aqueous coating composition and a process of making the same.
- Matt coating films are coating films having low gloss, normally at a level of below 30 on a 60° Gardner Gloss scale in the wood coating industry.
- the gloss of coating films is directly related to their micro-scale surface roughness.
- Use of conventional matting agents can increase the micro-scale surface roughness of coating films and decrease their gloss.
- To achieve low gloss typically at least 1-3%by weight matting agents, based on the solids weight of the coating compositions, are added into the coating composition.
- Such high dosage of matting agents usually results in undesirably low stain resistance such as coffee resistance of coating films.
- Many coating applications, particularly wood coatings require coating films having sufficient stain resistance to meet industry requirements.
- pigmented white coatings containing titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) it is a challenge for pigmented white coatings containing titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) to meet industry requirements for coffee resistance.
