SYLYSIA® SY290 is a finely ground, synthetic amorphous silica gel grade. It is mainly used as a matting and anti-blocking agent across different applications. This material provides anti-caking benefits and resistance to mar, while also enabling quick drying in coatings that are receptive to ink. It is appropriate for use in both water and solvent-based paints, coatings, and inks.
Benefits:
- Matting Agent: SY290 effectively reduces gloss in coatings, providing a matte finish.
- Anti-Blocking Agent: It prevents surfaces from sticking together, particularly in films and coatings.
- Anti-Caking Agent: It inhibits the formation of clumps or caking in powders, improving flow and handling.
- Mar-Resistance: It enhances the resistance of surfaces to scratching and scuffing.
- Fast Drying: It promotes faster drying times in ink-receptive coatings.
Properties:
- Paints and Coatings: Widely used in architectural, industrial, and decorative coatings.
- Inks: Improves the performance of both water-based and solvent-based inks.
- Adhesives and Sealants: Can be incorporated to enhance certain properties.
- Plastics: Used as an additive to improve the properties of plastic films and other products.
