SC Matting Agent™ is a premium grade, micronized polypropylene, gloss reducing matting agent designed for specific SureCrete sealers and coatings (see Loading Rates). SC Matting Agent™ provides the optimum, consistent, gloss control desired by today’s discerning designers. SureCrete’s formula delivers reduced settling of the additive after mixing due to the particulates’ spherical shape and size.
