Architectural Coating 

When aesthetics, durability and application balance define the surface.

Surface treatment technologies designed for architectural paints where appearance, durability and application behavior must work together. These solutions support interior and exterior coatings that combine deep matte aesthetics, long-term resistance and compliance with evolving regulatory and sustainability standards.

Matte Control and Surface Durability

Architectural coatings must balance visual impact with mechanical performance. Interior wall paints in particular require deep matte appearance, scrub resistance, washability and burnish control, without sacrificing color intensity or surface integrity.

Spheromers® hard acrylic beads enable deep matte finishes—below 2 gloss units at 85°—while maintaining resistance to burnish, abrasion, scratching and chemicals. Their transparency preserves bright and dark shades without haze.
Decosphæra® soft urethane beads introduce silky, peach-like haptics together with scratch resistance and washability. The pigmented Decosphaera® range, available in multiple particle sizes and colors, creates decorative tactile and multicolor effects without compromising durability.
Decosphæra® Transparent HAP 30, based on inorganic hydroxyapatite, delivers multi-angle low gloss, high wet-scrub resistance and excellent pigment compatibility.

Application Control and Rheology Management

Performance in architectural coatings also depends on application behavior. The portfolio includes VOC-free polyurethane rheology modifiers, engineered to optimize viscosity control, levelling, film build and sag resistance while supporting low-emission formulations. These technologies ensure consistent application performance from roller to spray, contributing to uniform appearance and reliable film formation

Designed for Sustainable Formulation

Architectural coatings increasingly demand lower emissions and regulatory compliance without compromising performance. The integrated platform supports formulators with solutions that combine deep matte aesthetics, mechanical durability and low-VOC performance, enabling coatings that meet both design expectations and environmental standards.
