When mixed into a paint or varnish, Grace’s silica matting agents create a microscopic roughening of the formula’s surface as it dries, diffusely reflecting light. The result is a matte finish that offers stain and scratch resistance and long-lasting protection. Learn more about Grace’s wood coating technology: https://bit.ly/3XEp1DO #WRGrace
