AD1150 Flatting Agent

Carmix AD1150 Flatting Agent is a premium, highly concentrated gloss-reduction additive meticulously engineered for professional vehicle refinishing within the ⁠Carmix Master Tinting System. Formulated as a liquid paste utilizing specialized, ultra-fine amorphous silica particles, this specialized tinter is designed to systematically lower the sheen of 1K basecoats, 2K polyurethane topcoats, and high-solid acrylic clearcoats without compromising color depth, clarity, or underlying mechanical paint adhesion. By embedding microscopic surface structures that scatter and diffuse incident light rays rather than reflecting them uniformly, it grants painters precise control over the final gloss matrix, allowing them to smoothly transition coatings from high-gloss to semi-gloss, satin, or true dead-matte finishes to flawlessly match modern OEM flat factory finishes or perform low-sheen commercial fleet repairs. To ensure effortless workshop integration, AD1150 is enhanced with advanced anti-settling rheology modifiers that keep the heavy flatting particles fully suspended, preventing the compound from hardening or clumping at the bottom of automated mixing machines while retaining a low-viscosity, easy-to-pour composition. During the application process, the additive maintains a highly stable, non-fogging transparency that prevents the final clear layer from turning cloudy or milky, ensuring a smooth, micro-scratch-resistant finish that resists chemical weathering and prevents common spraying flaws like mottling, striping, or uneven patchiness across complex vehicle panels .
