Product Overview
Silicon Dioxide Nanopowder that is hydrophobic and organosilane (OS) coated provides unique properties due to its modified surface chemistry. This coating enhances the material's hydrophobicity, making it resistant to water and moisture. It is well-suited for applications requiring water repellency, such as in coatings, plastics, and advanced composites. The OS-coating also improves the compatibility of the nanoparticles with organic materials, enabling their use in a variety of hydrophobic matrices.
Key factor
- Hydrophobic Surface: The organosilane coating modifies the surface, making the silicon dioxide nanoparticles water-resistant and suitable for use in moisture-sensitive applications.
- Dispersion in Organic Solvents: The coating enhances the dispersibility of the nanoparticles in non-polar solvents, which is critical for maintaining consistency in formulations.
- Stability: Hydrophobic, OS-coated nanoparticles are chemically stable, reducing the risk of aggregation and ensuring long-term stability in products.
- Particle Size and Consistency: Maintains a uniform particle size distribution, essential for predictable performance in end-use applications.
- Enhanced Properties: The coating can improve the mechanical properties of composites and coatings, including increased scratch resistance and durability.
