Colloidal silica is a colloidal system formed by the dispersion of amorphous silica nanoparticles in water, which is non-toxic and odorless. It is one of the few nanomaterials that can be produced on a large scale industrially and has a wide range of applications. What are the reasons why this material is widely used by users? Here is a brief introduction to several aspects, hoping to enable more users to know the advantages of this material.
First, silica sol is a non-toxic and odorless solution. Due to its small colloid particles, which are colorless and transparent, it will not affect the original color of the covered object. Importantly, this material also has good permeability and, when mixed with other objects, possesses the characteristics of silica sol.
Secondly, the process of silica sol is simple. When making this material, Yinfeng Company adopted a simple silicon hydrolysis process. This process has high requirements for the technology and the produced particles have good uniformity.
Thirdly, silica sol has excellent performance. Due to its good high-temperature resistance and strong adhesion, it is widely used in the coating industry, foundry industry, and refractory binder industry.
Fourth, one of the major advantages of silica sol in the coatings industry is its good material permeability, which can complement coatings very well. After the material is replenished, the coating has stronger firmness and anti-aging function.
