Abstract:Due to the soft luster and fine texture, matting resins can create an elegant and comfortable atmosphere and environment. This is the reason why matting resins were greatly needed and widely used in wood coloring, paper varnish, floor finishing, metal and plastic finishing, electrophoretic coating, coil, furniture, wallpaper, leather, artificial leather and so on. In this paper, the definition of gloss, the determination and grading of gloss, the principle of extinction, the method of extinction and the application ranges of matting resins were mainly introduced. However, the most important work of this paper was that the research status and progress of ultraviolet (UV) light curing matting coatings, powder matting coatings and water-based matting coatings were systematically discussed.
