Nano-silica, is a silicon oxide (SiO2) nanoparticle that is synthesized as a completely pure nanostructured containing nano-cavities on its surface. Nanosilica is one of the most widely used nanomaterials in the world of nanopowders. It has many applications as reinforcement, concentrator, anti-blocking and anti-caking (anti agglomeration).
Due to the uniformly fine particle size and high surface area, A4 nano-silica can have a high concentration and anti-agglomeration in the formulation of products based on synthetic resins. This product can be used in the production of industrial paints as a rheological controller and anti-deposition agent. Because of better distribution, A4 nanosilica can be a very good alternative to benton in industrial paints.
In addition, this grade of nano-silica can also replace a portion of the erosil in the formulation of the gel formulation. A4 grade as the most widely used nano-silica grade for the production of epoxy base adhesives, polyacrylates and sealants is also used as a concentrator.
ApplicationThixotropy capability of this product results in the reduction of blistering of paint.
This product is consistent with Zeothix 177 and Zeothix 265 fabricated by Huber company and Gelsil GS-300 and Gelsil GS-3000 produced by Glassven company.
