General Hints

Mixing Guidelines

• 25% addition of the Matting Additive by volume to achieve up to a 30% reduction in gloss
• 50% addition of the Matting Additive by volume to achieve up to a 80% reduction in gloss
• 75% addition of the Matting Additive by volume to achieve up to a 95% reduction in gloss

For large areas, ensure full required volume of matted paint is mixed prior to commencing application.
Matt appearance may vary with colour.

Thinners:  YTA800 Thinners No.1
Thinning:  Matting Additive may be thinned by 5% prior to mixing with Topcoat or Varnish. Use Thinners No.1.
Conventional Spray: (Professional spray application only) Pressure: 3­4 bar. Tip Size: 1.1­1.4 mm. For spray
application of matted 1­pack varnishes or finishes, follow instructions on the datasheet for the product in question.

Other: The addition of Matting Additive to a finish or varnish will not affect the drying or overcoating characteristics of
the product. It will not affect the durability of the finished surface. As with all the types of reduced­gloss coatings, the
resulting finish will not have the same stay­clean properties as a full­gloss coating. If all the mixed (matted) material is not
used it may be used at a later date. Simply stir well before use. Testing on a non­critical area should be carried out prior
to full­scale application.
