To achieve a flat finish in eggshell paint, typically around 5-15% talc by weight is added to the formulation. This helps to reduce sheen and create a more matte appearance. The exact amount can vary depending on the specific formulation and desired finish. Manufacturers often adjust the ratio to balance texture, opacity, and performance.
No, the particles are too large, use talc.
You paint over it with a glossier finish or you put high gloss poly over it. There is NO other way to do it, hence the moniker flat paint.
talc is the softest rock in the world while diamond is the hardest rock
Talc is formed by the hydrothermal alteration of ultrabasic rocks, or low grade thermal metamorphism of siliceous dolomites.

sorry to be the barrier of bad news, but the only way is to but a semi gloss paint. or try playing around with different glazes.
Yes, you can mix talc powder with glossy paint to reduce its shine. Start by mixing a small amount of talc with the paint until you achieve the desired level of matte finish. Keep in mind that adding talc may affect the finish and texture of the paint, so it's best to test it on a small area first.

Probably Talc... It's what they use in paint and maybe baby powder because of how easy it is to grind up.

Mass is an extrinsic property... that is, it matters very much how much talc there is. Your question makes no sense.
Yes, talc is a foliated mineral. It typically occurs in thin, flat layers or sheets due to its perfect basal cleavage, which allows it to easily split into thin sheets. This foliation gives talc its characteristic slippery feeling.
Baby powder is very fine talc. It is important that the baby is not breathing in too much talc, so be careful and don't let your baby hold the talc container unsupervised.

Talc is a mineral.
Talc is considered an ore. Talc is a silicate, and very soft. The technical name for talc is hydrated magnesium silicate.
