Understanding Matte Levels in Solid-Color Decorative Film — And Why WellP PET Film Super Matte Series Leads the Industry

In modern interior design, the pursuit of elegant, understated surfaces is stronger than ever. From luxury wardrobes to minimalist kitchen cabinets, super-matte finishes have become a global trend—favored for their soft visual appeal, tactile comfort, and premium aesthetic.

But what exactly determines “matte”? Why does the level of gloss matter? And how does WellP achieve one of the lowest gloss and highest-performance super matte PET film in the industry?

In this article, we break down the science behind matte levels, explore how super matte visual effects are created, and introduce the WellP PET Film Super Matte Series, engineered for brands seeking next-generation surface materials.

1. What Does “Matte Level” Mean in Decorative Film?

Gloss level is an objective measurement of how much light a surface reflects. It is typically tested at three different measurement angles—20°, 60°, and 85°—with lower numbers indicating a more matte, less reflective surface.

For decorative film, especially solid-color PET film, gloss determines:

• How soft or sharp the reflection appears
• Whether fingerprints or smudges show
• The visual “silkiness” of the color tone
• Whether the surface looks luxurious or plastic-like

A lower gloss reading creates a calmer, sophisticated effect—ideal for modern interior aesthetics where less shine = more luxury.

2. Why the Industry Is Moving Toward Super Matte Surfaces

Today's consumers expect more from surface materials: they want elegance, durability, and a sense of quiet luxury. Super matte finishes deliver all of these advantages.

✓ Visually soft & non-reflective

Perfect for minimalist, Scandinavian, contemporary, and modern-luxury interiors.

✓ Premium color fidelity

Super-matte surfaces show deeper, richer, more natural color without glare.

✓ Hides fingerprints & daily smudges

A major advantage over glossy materials, especially for kitchens and wardrobes.

✓ Warm, tactile texture

Ultra-matte surfaces feel smooth, velvety, and inviting to the touch.

✓ Camera-friendly for marketing & showroom display

Becoming the preferred finish for social-media-driven interior brands.

3. How WellP Achieves Truly Ultra-Low Gloss Levels

Many suppliers claim to offer “matte” or “super matte” film—but achieving stable, ultra-low gloss requires advanced technology and strict control.

WellP PET Film Super Matte Series is engineered with industry-leading precision, offering gloss levels of:

• 20°: ≤ 1.0
• 60°: ≤ 2.0
• 85°: ≤ 10

These numbers place WellP among the true super-matte category, far outperforming standard matte decorative film.

4. The Technology Behind WellP PET Film Super Matte

To achieve its signature ultra-matte effect, WellP applies a proprietary surface treatment that goes beyond traditional coating methods.

(1) Nano-Light Surface Processing Technology

WellP uses nano-level surface engineering to create micro-fine surface textures that scatter incoming light.

(2) Controlled Diffuse Reflection

The nano-texture redirects light in multiple directions instead of reflecting it directly, resulting in:

• Extremely soft visual appearance
• Ultra-low gloss
• Consistent matte effect across all color tones

(3) 172 nm Nanometer Excimer UV Treatment

In a nitrogen-protected environment, the PET film surface is treated using 172 nm excimer laser UV technology.
This process:

• Creates micro-structured patterns
• Improves chemical stability
• Enhances mechanical strength
• Forms a new generation of eco-friendly decorative surfaces

(4) High-Performance Functional Coating

The final film maintains exceptional durability, including:

• Superior scratch resistance
• Anti-fingerprint performance
• Anti-stain and easy-to-clean capabilities
• High color stability with no yellowing

This makes WellP's super matte PET film ideal for high-traffic residential and commercial environments.
