Our additive offerings for coatings include materials designed for:
Colloidal Silica Additives:
NYACOL® manufactures a broad range of colloidal silica products for coating applications. Colloidal silica can be used to improve adhesion and scratch resistance of latex based coatings, as a binder for protective coatings, for control of coefficient of friction and as a surface sealant.
Sodium-Stabilized Colloidal Silica Series
Acidic Colloidal Silica Series
Ammonia-Stabilized Colloidal Silica Series
Functionalized Colloidal Silica Additives:
NYACOL® sells colloidal silica based dispersions and powders functionalized with silanes and organic surface treatments. These products offer superior properties as a result of the cross linking of the functionalized surface in the resin/binder system.
Colloidal Titanium Dioxide Self-cleaning Coating:
NYACOL® is offering an aqueous dispersion of ultrafine titanium dioxide – TiSol-PC – designed to be used as a self-cleaning coating. TiSol-PC can be applied to all types of bathroom tiles and fixtures to provide a self-cleaning, odor removing coating. It can be used on fabrics as a flexible coating and deodorizing agent. Commercial drapes and carpets benefit. It can also be applied to concrete and wood providing self-cleaning surfaces. TiSol-PC is an excellent alternative to fluorinated hydrophobic glass coatings used in solar panels.
The product is light activated, meaning UV light and part of the visible light spectrum generate electron holes in the photocatalytic top layer. Hydroxide radicals and super-oxide ions are generated, which degrade surface contaminants and organics. The contaminants are broken down and easily washed away.
