OPX301 ULTRA S-MATT

Near-zero gloss in a familiar solvent-based 2K process, without a UV or excimer line.

OPX301 ULTRA S-MATT

The right solution for solvent-based 2K production

OPX301 suits manufacturers already using solvent-based acrylic or polyurethane 2K systems who want a deep, uniform matt finish without rebuilding the production process.

Absolute matt without rebuilding production

OPX301 is a transparent, solvent-based two-component polyurethane finish. It is designed for a standard spray area and is applied over a prepared solvent-based 2K base.

The solution adds the ULTRA S-MATT look to an existing production cycle without switching to water-based materials, buying UV equipment, or changing the established application process.

OPX: transparent 2K systems

For production using solvent-based acrylic and polyurethane materials. The lower layer creates the colour, while transparent OPX creates the matt level and final appearance.

  • OPX302

AOX: water-based technology

For manufacturers choosing water-based technology. The AOX branch includes transparent and white versions plus a converter for tinting.

The lower layer creates the colour. OPX301 creates the finish

OPX301 is not pigmented. A pigmented acrylic or polyurethane lower layer creates the colour, then transparent OPX301 provides near-zero gloss, an anti-glare effect, and the final tactile quality.

Separating colour from finish allows one transparent product to be used over many shades.

One transparent finish, many colours

The same OPX301 can be used over white, pastel, dark, and saturated shades. A collection of fronts can therefore share one matt level without a separate finish recipe for every colour.

What the manufacturer gains

0 gloss +/-1

Virtually no reflected light.

Uniform matt

A uniform appearance across flat parts and large fronts.

Anti-glare effect

A calm, deep perception of colour.

Surface resistance

Improved resistance to polishing and yellowing, with thermal recovery of minor marks.

Products suited to this solution

OPX301 is intended for interior furniture, cabinet doors, interior fittings, and flat panels.

For worktops, floors, and heavily loaded horizontal surfaces, the system must be validated with separate testing.

  • kitchen fronts
  • wardrobes and interior doors
  • wall and decorative panels
  • cabinet furniture

When to choose OPX301

Choose OPX301 for a solvent-based 2K process, a transparent finish over an established colour, near-zero gloss, and standard spraying without a UV or excimer line.

AOX1018 suits projects prioritising a water-based 2K system; UVX and UVNX suit high-output UV lines; VMAOX provides an ultra-matt metallic effect.
