Sag Resistance Function of Fumed Silica In Polyurethane Coating

experiment process

  • Sample A is an anti-corrosion coating with added fumed silica
  • Sample B is the one without fumed silica

Apply sample A and B onto tinplate by paint film preparer respectively

Sample B without HIFULL fumed silica drips and shows uneven film thickness

While sample A added HIFULL fumed silica performs good anti-sagging properties

prevents excess paint on the edges or drips when applying paint.

Experiment conclusion: Fumed silica greatly improves the anti-sagging performance of two-component polyurethane coatings

When fumed silica is used as filler or additives, it helps in thickening, reinforcement, transparency, free-flow, thixotropic performance, dielectric properties, anti-settling, heat insulation, and anti-sagging. For example, for powder products, HIFULL fumed silica is used as an anti-caking agent; for liquid products, HIFULL fumed silica is used as an anti-settling agent or suspending agent.
