At a time when the concept of environmental protection is deeply rooted in people's hearts, silica has emerged in the field of coatings and has become a highly anticipated environmentally friendly material. It has special physical and chemical properties, giving coatings excellent performance. Its nano-scale particles can be evenly dispersed in the coating system, significantly enhancing the hardness, wear resistance and scratch resistance of the coating, and extending the service life of the coating. At the same time, it can also improve the weather resistance of the coating, effectively resist ultraviolet rays, wind and rain erosion, and maintain the stability of the coating color and performance.
Silica is called an environmentally friendly material, which is closely related to its own characteristics and its role in coatings. It is non-toxic and harmless, has stable chemical properties, does not release harmful gases or substances during use, and is friendly to human health and the environment. In the production of coatings, silica can reduce the use of traditional harmful additives, reduce the VOC (volatile organic compound) content of coatings, and reduce pollution to the atmospheric environment. In addition, it can also increase the solid content of coatings, reduce the amount of solvents used, and reduce the negative impact on the environment from the source. With these special performances, silica provides strong support for the green development of the coatings industry and promotes the industry to move towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction.
