Wood Coatings
Our fumed metal oxide products can improve the storage, application and finished properties of wood coatings that are used for a variety of purposes, including protection, beautification, water resistance and matting.
Wood coatings customers typically seek a durable finish with a transparent topcoat to showcase the natural beauty of the wood substrate. Our SpectrAl® fumed alumina can be incorporated into clear topcoats to impart scratch and abrasion resistance to the coating, while maintaining the transparency that end-users desire. Fumed alumina has been shown to improve these properties in both acrylic and polyurethane systems. Our CAB-O-SIL® fumed silica can be incorporated into wood coating systems to improve anti-settling performance during storage, flow-and-leveling performance during application and mechanical properties upon curing.
CAB-O-SIL® Fumed Silica
Fumed silica is a highly efficient matting additive for wood and leather coating, providing good matting performance, smooth surface appearance and superior clarity at lower loadings compared to other technologies in this application space.
ENOVA® Aerogel
ENOVA aerogel is an innovative fine particle silica-based aerogel, highly treated to create a hydrophobic material with an extremely large surface area. Combined with its high porosity and complete treatment, its unique chemistry makes ENOVA aerogel an ideal solution for a variety of low gloss and light diffusion formulations, including 100% UV-curable systems.
