: Maintains high film transparency, ensuring the underlying color or grain of the substrate remains vivid. Ease of Dispersion Generally neutral to slightly acidic (approx
: Achieves low gloss levels at relatively low concentrations due to its high pore volume. Surface Quality
: Prevents the formation of hard precipitation in coatings during storage and has no negative effect on interlayer adhesion. IMCD Spain Primary Applications
SYLOID® ED 30 is highly favored for solvent-borne and water-borne industrial wood finishes, protective wood stains, and DIY furniture lacquers. It delivers a high-clarity matte finish that accentuates natural wood grain without causing haziness or a cloudy appearance. 2. UV-Curable Coatings A near-neutral pH minimizes the risk of chemical
The TDS is specific to . Syloid ED 5 is a smaller particle size (smoother but lower matting). Syloid ED 40 is larger (aggressive matting but gritty feel). Using the wrong TDS to formulate is dangerous. Always check the product code at the top of the PDF.
Technical Data Summary (TDS) Product Type: Synthetic Amorphous Silica (Colloidal Silicon Dioxide) Primary Applications: Glidant, Anti-caking Agent, Carrier, Matting Agent
The synthetic silica structure reinforces the dry film network, increasing the coating's resistance to physical abrasions, scuffs, and everyday wear.
