SPHERILEX® - uniquely spherical silica for coatings

SPHERILEX® is a unique spherically shaped precipitated silica with a very narrow particle size distribution. When incorporated into a coating it offers excellent abrasion resistance and burnish resistance without negatively impacting on transparency or viscosity and can be used in applications such as architectural coatings, wood coatings, floor coatings or general industrial coatings.

Watch the video from EVONIK to learn more.

What Can Replace Talc in Coatings? A Function-First Guide for Formulators

Talc replacement in coatings means finding a mineral, or a blend of minerals, that reproduces the specific functions talc performs in a formulation, such as barrier protection, rheology control, extension, matting, sanding or film reinforcement. Candidates include mica, micaceous iron oxide, hydrous and calcined kaolin, calcium carbonate, synthetic calcium silicate hydrates (tobermorite and xonotlite), wollastonite, nepheline syenite and feldspar. Each reproduces some of talc's functions well and others poorly.
