6.0 – 8.5. A near-neutral pH minimizes the risk of chemical interference or catalytic side reactions with sensitive resin matrices. Silica Content ( SiO2cap S i cap O sub 2 ): ≥is greater than or equal to
For optimum results, introduce Syloid® ED 30 during the let-down phase of coating manufacturing under high-speed agitation (peripheral speeds of 5–10 m/s).
To integrate Syloid® ED 30 effectively into a coating system, follow standard high-speed dissolution protocols: Syloid Ed 30 Tds Pdf
99.0% (dry basis), ensuring elemental purity and consistency. Mechanism of Action: How SYLOID® ED 30 Works
A2: Due to its excellent dispersibility, Syloid ED 30 can be added directly to the coating mixture under low-to-medium shear agitation. It is often recommended to add the product during the "let-down" stage of production, after pigment grinding, to avoid over-shearing the silica particles. Pre-dispersion in a small amount of solvent is also an option for ensuring even distribution.
SYLOID® ED 30 is an amorphous (non-crystalline) silica with crystalline silica content below detectable limits, distinguishing it from hazardous crystalline silica forms like quartz or cristobalite. The product is generally exempt from VOC regulations due to its solid powder form. The technical data sheet for SYLOID® ED 30
Technical Data Sheet Guide: Syloid® ED 30 Silica Mattening Agent Executive Summary
A common problem with lower-tier matting agents is the formation of a milky, hazy appearance (known as "fogging" or "haze") over dark substrates. SYLOID® ED 30's refractive index matches closely with standard polymer binders (such as acrylates and polyurethanes), preserving true color depth and wood grain clarity. Primary Coating Applications
Syloid® ED 30 is versatile, finding use in both solvent-borne and water-borne systems, as well as radiation-cured coatings. Silica Matting Agent SYLOID ED 30 For Furniture Coatings Silica Content ( SiO2cap S i cap O
