Flattening Paste

🚢 Create the perfect satin or flat non-slip deck finish — with complete control over your sheen level.

Quantum Flattening Paste is used to reduce the gloss of paint, creating satin to flat finishes. Commonly used for non-slip deck surfaces to prevent glare and provide a visual reference to where the non-slip area is.

📐 How Much Do I Need?

For Satin Finish (Roll Application):

• 2 parts Quantum99 base color

⚠️ Critical: Induction Time

After adding flattening paste, allow the mixture to induct for 10-15 minutes before application to prevent gloss variations.

🎯 Common Applications
