Permanon Super Matte is a specialist matte surface sealant concentrate — the only Permanon product formulated exclusively for matte finishes — containing only monomeric silicium on an aqueous basis to deliver professional-grade surface protection, UVA and UVB shielding, and hardness protection without adding a single point of gloss to the finish it protects.
No reaction time. No polishing. No gloss. Just spray, dab, wipe — and follow-up cleaning becomes more than 80% easier, for up to 6–8 months per application.
1L concentrate makes 20 litres at 5% dilution, 33 litres at 3%, or up to 50 litres at 2% — and a 500ml bottle makes 10, 16, or 25 litres respectively — treating a full wrapped vehicle or multiple surfaces from a single bottle.
Surfaces and Protection Coverage
Super Matte is engineered for one thing other sealants cannot safely do: protect a matte finish without altering it. Its monomeric silicium formula adheres electrostatically — no chemical bond, no pore-sealing, no gloss agents — making it safe across every matte-coated, matte plastic-coated, and matte dip-lacquered surface. Proven on 3M matte vinyl films with less than 0.2 gloss unit change across all tested surfaces.
Surfaces Protected in One Application
Automotive — Matte Finishes
• Matte vinyl wrap — all colours and finishes
• Matte paint and lacquer foil
• Matte dip lacquer surfaces
• Matte plastic-coated panels and bumpers
• Carbon fibre with matte finish
Motorsport & Specialty Vehicles
• Rally cars and show vehicles with matte liveries
• Camouflage and military-finish vehicles
• Track and performance vehicles with matte wraps
Sport, Leisure & Furniture
• Sports and leisure equipment with matte finishes
• Indoor and outdoor furniture with matte coatings
• Any hard surface requiring matte-safe protection
What it Protects Against
• UVA and UVB radiation — slowing matte colour fade under Australian sun conditions
• Surface hardening and micro-abrasion — hardness protection degree 8
• Bird droppings, insect acids, and organic contamination
• Road grime, brake dust, and road salt adhesion
• Environmental fallout and airborne contamination
• Water and moisture ingress — hydrophobic water beading without pore sealing
Performance and Formula Profile
• Contains only monomeric silicium on an aqueous basis — no silicone oils, no fluorosilanes, no polymers, no solvents
• Zero gloss enhancement — the matte surface finish is preserved exactly as it was applied
• Electrostatic adhesion — no chemical bond with coatings or plastic film
• UVA and UVB protection — shields matte pigment from sun degradation
• Hardness protection at degree 8 — surface resistance against everyday marking
• Less than 0.2 gloss unit change across all 3M matte vinyl films tested (60° irradiation angle)
• 80%+ easier follow-up cleaning after every maintenance wash
• PFAS-free and environmentally friendly
• Recommended by SkinzWraps for matte-wrapped vehicles
Independent Gloss-Level Measurement — 3M Matte Films
The following test data confirms that Permanon Super Matte causes effectively zero gloss change on professionally produced matte vinyl film. Testing was conducted using a 60° irradiation angle, consistent with the average angle of incidence of sunlight.

Dilution Ratio and Application
Permanon Super Matte is a professional-grade concentrate that mixes with regular tap water in minutes. No specialist equipment required. The mixed solution remains stable for approximately 3 weeks.
Dilution:
• First-time application: First-time application: mix Permanon Super Matte at 2–5% with water. A 1-litre concentrate makes 20–50 litres of diluted solution depending on concentration. A 500ml concentrate makes 10–25 litres.
• For maintenance: For maintenance top-ups, a 2–3% solution is sufficient. A 1-litre concentrate makes 33–50 litres. A 500ml concentrate makes 16–25 litres.

Important Notes:
• Diluting with regular tap water allows the mixed solution to remain stable for approximately 3 weeks.
• Diluting with osmosis (purified) water extends shelf life to up to 3 months.
• A 1-litre concentrate produces up to 50 litres of ready-to-use solution at 2%.
Application Instructions:
1. Ensure the matte surface is clean and thoroughly degreased before applying. Use Permanon Matt Shampoo 2-in-1 for the pre-clean for best results.
2. Dab or spray the Super Matte solution directly onto the matte surface. Work panel by panel.
3. Remove any excess product with a clean, soft microfibre cloth. No buffing, no polishing, no reaction time required.
4. Rinse or leave to dry. Protection is immediately active.
|
For ongoing matte surface care: pair Super Matte with Permanon Matt Shampoo 2-in-1 — a dedicated matte wash that cleans with the same protective coating properties as Super Matte in a single step, so your matte finish is maintained at every wash without a separate sealing application.

Product Depth
Matte surfaces occupy a unique and demanding position in surface care. Their defining characteristic — the absence of gloss, the flat, non-reflective finish that makes a matte black wrap or camouflage livery so visually striking — is also their greatest vulnerability.
The foundation of Super Matte is monomeric silicium on an aqueous basis — with no silicone oils, no fluorosilanes, no polymers, and no solvents. This formula is simpler than most competing matte protection products, and that simplicity is deliberate: every ingredient that is not monomeric silicium and water is a potential risk to the matte surface.
