Acrylic Emulsion Extender Improves Scuff and Mar Resistance in Low-Sheen Coatings
OPTI‑MATT™ MT‑8 is a 100% acrylic, non‑film‑forming emulsion extender designed to replace or reduce inorganic extenders while enhancing durability in low‑sheen coatings. Engineered for matte through eggshell finishes, it delivers excellent scuff and mar resistance with reduced color transfer in high‑traffic environments. Additional benefits—including abrasion and hot tire pickup resistance—make it well suited for specialty architectural applications such as garage floors, wood stains, clear concrete sealers, and sports surfaces. OPTI‑MATT™ MT‑8 can be used alone or blended, supports grind‑free formulating, is compatible with a wide range of acrylic resins.
