| Property | Value (Typical) | Technical Implication | |----------|----------------|------------------------| | | 4.5–6.0 µm | Very fine; produces smooth, low-dusting films. Ideal for thin-film applications (e.g., wood topcoats, coil coatings). | | Oil Absorption | ~250–300 g/100g | Extremely high porosity → high matting efficiency. Requires sufficient binder to avoid film integrity loss. | | pH (5% slurry) | 6.5–7.5 | Neutral → compatible with most resin systems, including pH-sensitive waterborne coatings. | | Loss on Drying | ≤ 3% | Low moisture; good for moisture-sensitive isocyanate or silane systems. | | Surface Treatment | None (untreated) | Hydrophilic. Will disperse easily in polar systems but may cause viscosity drift in non-polar media. | | | pH (5% slurry) | 6
SYLOID® ED 30 is a high-porosity, wax-treated silica matting agent. It appears as a white, free-flowing powder and is designed for easy dispersibility within various liquid systems. Its primary role is "gloss control"—reducing the shine of a coating without compromising its durability or clarity.
: Used in artificial and natural leather coatings to control gloss without compromising the substrate's texture. IMCD Spain Key Performance Benefits High Matting Efficiency
