Abstract
Improved coating formulations containing silica based matting agents in the form of a blend of low pore volume silica particles and high pore volume silica particles are disclosed. The matting formulations are useful in waterborne coating compositions to provide exceptional properties to a coated substrate. Films resulting from the coating formulations containing silica-based matting agents on a substrate unexpectedly provide improved chemical resistance to the surface of the substrate, in particular wood or plastics. Methods of making and using the silica-based matting formulations are also disclosed.
