Grace synthetic silicas enhance product performance and manufacturing processes across diverse industries, applications, and functionalities.
Syloid
Amorphous silica matting agents offer exceptional performance when used in wood coatings, coil and general industrial coatings, and architectural coatings. Syloid amorphous silica matting agents are synthetically engineered and are exceptionally pure. By controlling pore volume, particle size, and surface treatments, Syloid has a portfolio of matting agents that offer exceptional performance across a broad range of applications.
Syloid RAD
Matting agent specifically developed for radiation-cured coatings, the Syloid RAD silica series offers high matting efficiency and low-gloss levels in coatings for a variety of wood, plastic, and metal substrates.
Syloid MX
Matting agent specifically developed to fulfill the increasing technical challenges of matting coil, industrial and conventional paint systems, the MX generation is based on an innovative, porous silica technology that delivers an environmentally friendly (low VOC) solution in applications where film shrinkage during drying is minimal.
Shieldex
Anti-corrosive Pigment: Shieldex silica, a range of highly effective ion-exchanged pigments that are not classified as toxic and an effective replacement for pigments containing heavy metals like zinc and strontium chromate.
Sylojet
Inkjet Adsorbents for high performance and have been used successfully to improve the ink absorption and print quality of glossy and matt coatings.
Ludox
Ludox colloidal silica products are aqueous dispersions of silica particles in the low nanometer size range that typically exhibit a narrow particle size distribution. Ludox colloidal silica improves the performance of your products as inorganic binders, reinforcing and strengthening agents, refractory bonding agents, and surface modifiers.
Lithium Polysilicate
Lithium Polysilicate is an aqueous solution of lithium polysilicate with a silicon dioxide/ lithium oxide. Used as an inorganic binder. Suitable for high performance zinc coatings for marine and industrial applications where high pigment loading and water and wear resistance are desired.
Sylobloc
Anti-blocking additive: Sylobloc silicas are highly efficient anti-blocking agents that enhance the film’s surface micro-roughness to aid in anti-blocking and anti-slipping. Anti-blocking in polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE) film applications.
Sylosiv
Sylosiv zeolite powders have exceptional adsorptive capacity at very low moisture levels, which distinguish them from other drying agents and make them the ideal choice for applications in which even the smallest amount of water can be damaging to the coating.
Sylowhite
Sylowhite titanium dioxide extender has a high level of purity, which results in minimum effects on color and enhanced brightness properties.
Trisyl
Trisyl silicas are engineered to adsorb polar impurities such as phosphatides, trace metal ions, and soaps in oil and fat matrices. With Trisyl silica, edible oil and biofuel producers can reduce impurities down to trace levels with minimal ownership costs and reduced environmental impacts.
Daraclar
Silica for beer stabilisation and clarification. Daraclar silica selectively removes hydrophilic haze-sensitive proteins responsible for chill-haze formation. With low leachable metals content, this highly pure and consistent protein adsorbent was developed specifically for the brewing process to extend beer shelf life without impacting foam and flavor stability.
Phonosorb
Phonosorb adsorbents for insulating glass (IG) are specifically engineered to help maintain window quality, performance, and long-term reliability. Phosorb static adsorbents meet consistent quality standards and are fully compliant with EU’s EN1279:2018 Norm.
Grace’s synthetic silica range of products are used in Wood Coatings, Coil Coatings, Industrial Coatings, Inks & Paper Coatings, Architectural Coatings, Plastics, Construction, Edible oil refining, Personal Care, Beer, Biofuels and Insulating Glass.
