WP.GLOSSZERO™
Gloss Zero H2O Varnish
Gloss Zero™ represents the essence of the ultra-matte surface. A finish developed by Molteni Vernici to eliminate all superfluous reflections and make way exclusively for material, light, and architecture. The result is a velvety, deep, and perfectly uniform surface, capable of transforming any element into an icon of contemporary design.
Developed by the Molteni Vernici Research and Development Center, Gloss Zero™ is a 1K 100% water-based single-component finish formulated with new-generation nanoceramic resins to achieve an authentic Gloss 0. This special technology creates an extremely matte surface that is soft to the touch and characterized by high aesthetic uniformity, capable of absorbing light and enhancing shapes, volumes, and geometries with a minimalist and sophisticated language.
Designed for the world of interior design, high-end furniture, luxury retail, hospitality, contract furnishing, and contemporary architecture, Gloss Zero™ finds application in boutiques, flagship stores, hotels, showrooms, contemporary villas, museums, galleries, executive offices, and exclusive residences. It is ideal for kitchens, custom-made furniture, boiserie, decorative panels, doors, reception desks, counters, tables, bookshelves, technical wooden floors, museum installations, display elements, and furnishing accessories where the purity of the surface becomes the protagonist of the project.
The special formulation delivers a truly constant and uniform Gloss 0 surface, even on large elements and complex geometries. The refined ultra-matte effect almost completely eliminates reflections, creating a deep, elegant, and perfectly contemporary visual perception.
Applicable on solid wood, veneers, MDF, HDF, plastics, ABS, PMMA, suitably prepared metals, and numerous other substrates using specific Molteni Vernici cycles, Gloss Zero™ offers maximum design freedom and perfect aesthetic continuity between different materials.
The 100% water-based formulation, free of formaldehyde, free of PFAS, and with very low VOC content, helps improve indoor air quality and reduce the environmental impact of the production process, representing a sustainable solution for contemporary design.
Through specific Molteni Vernici cycles, Gloss Zero™ offers high performance in terms of resistance to wear, scratches, detergents, UV rays, and daily use, preserving the absolute opacity, tactile softness, and elegance of the surface over time.
With Gloss Zero™, Molteni Vernici introduces a new philosophy of material, where design is expressed through the subtraction of light rather than its reflection. An exclusive finish designed for architects and designers seeking essential, pure, and uncompromising surfaces, capable of defining a new standard for ultra-matte in the world of furniture and architecture.
