LO-VEL® Silica Flatting Agents

LO-VEL® flatting agents comprise a comprehensive line of synthetic amorphous precipitated silica products that reduce the gloss of (or flatten) coatings, paints, varnishes, lacquers, inks and other finishes.

Since debuting in the 1960s, the Lo-Vel silica product portfolio has continually expanded to meet evolving formulator demands and now covers a wide range of porosities, particle sizes and other physical properties.

Available as wax-treated and non-treated products, Lo-Vel flatting agents offer maximum formulation flexibility for manufacturers of solvent-based, waterborne, clear and pigmented coatings seeking to balance desired characteristics and performance such as:

  • Flatting efficiency
  • Ease of dispersion
  • Heat-age stability
  • Leveling and smoothness
  • Color stability and matching
  • Resistance to settling

Typical applications for Lo-Vel flatting agents include:

  • Coil coatings
  • General industrial finishes
  • Decorative paints
  • Aircraft coatings
  • Wood coatings
  • Leather and fabric coatings
  • Overprint varnishes
  • Printing inks
