Standard matt paint surface hit by plastic object
At a microscopic level the surface of many paint films is slightly rough from fillers added to enhance the strength and durability of the coating as well as to adjust it to the desired sheen level. As a result of this plastic or rubber materials rubbed against the surface will often leave dark scuff marks.

Scuffshield Matt paint surface hit by a plastic object
In the case of the newly developed Dulux Trade Scuffshield Matt, that contains our ultimate scuff-resistant technology, at a microscopic level the surface is much smoother, reducing the impact of plastic and rubber materials on the paint surface, and thus reducing scuff marks.
