Silica

Each paint is designed with specific attributes in mind, and Nanosil Series Silica is one of the ingredients that allows for each specificity. Nanosil Series Silica functions in paints and coatings as a great low-cost extender. As in other applications, Nanosil Series Silica is desirable for its chemical inertness which allows for good acid, chemical, and heat resistance. In marine and maintenance coatings, the durability of Nanosil Series Silica imparts excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance.

1. Nanosil Silica’s low oil absorption allows increased pigment loading for improved finish color.
2. Along with its chemical inertness, Nanosil Silica's hardness improves abrasion resistance in paints.
3. Paint formulators select micron-sized industrial sands to improve the appearance and durability of architectural and industrial paint and coatings.
4. In architectural paints, Nanosil Silica fillers improve tint retention durability, and resistance to dirt, mildew, cracking and weathering.
5. Nanosil Silica’s low oil absorption allows increased pigment loading for improved finish color.
6. In marine and maintenance coatings, the durability of Nanosil Silica imparts excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance.
7. Nanosil Silica improves the most important qualities in paints such as reflectance, brightness and color consistency for any large scale uses. Industrial sand, therefore, plays a role in keeping the buildings, cars, and boats we see from looking worn or dingy.
