Cationic Colloidal Silica Grade Comparison

Model Particle Size SiO₂ Content pH Shelf Life
AP2510 10–20 nm 25±1% 3–6 ≥6 months
AP2820 20–30 nm 28±1% 3–6 ≥6 months
APX50-20 50–60 nm 20±1% 3–6 ≥6 months
APX80-30 80–90 nm 30±1% 3–6 ≥6 months
APX100-30 100–120 nm 30±1% 3–6 ≥6 months
PI2020 20–30 nm 20±1% 3–6 ≥6 months
P12X 300–600 nm 12–13% 3–6 ≥6 months

Particle size is customizable. AP grades are inorganic and contain no organic material; PI2020 is organically modified. Confirm the selected grade and final specification limits before sampling or ordering.

Grade Selection

Select by Particle Size, Solids and Modification Type

10–30 nm

AP2510 and AP2820

Fine-particle inorganic grades with 25±1% or 28±1% SiO₂ and no organic material.

50–120 nm

APX Series

Three inorganic grades covering 50–60, 80–90 and 100–120 nm particle-size ranges.

Organically Modified

PI2020

Organically modified grade with 20–30 nm particles and 20±1% SiO₂.

300–600 nm

P12X

Large-particle specialty grade with 12–13% SiO₂ and the widest published particle-size range.

Grade Confirmation

Information Needed for a Grade Recommendation

The seven standard grades share a published pH range of 3–6, while particle size, SiO₂ content and modification type distinguish the available options.

  • Particle size: specify a standard range or the required customized value.
  • Silica content: confirm the required SiO₂ concentration.
  • Modification type: state whether an inorganic AP grade, organically modified PI grade or P12X is required.
  • Required pH: confirm that the published pH range of 3–6 is acceptable.
  • Order details: provide the trial quantity, annual demand and preferred packaging.
  • Quality limits: include the inspection method and acceptance criteria used for qualification.

Packaging and Storage

Protect the Dispersion During Storage

Packaging Options

Available polyethylene packaging sizes are 25 kg, 250 kg and 1000 kg.

Storage Temperature

Store at 0–40°C and protect from freezing. Temperatures below 0°C can cause irreversible gelation.

Direct Sunlight

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during storage and transportation.

Container Closure

Keep containers closed to limit water evaporation and precipitation of solid silica particles.

Applications

Applications of Cationic Colloidal Silica

Cationic colloidal silica can be evaluated for negatively charged surfaces and formulations requiring positively charged silica particles. Compatibility should be confirmed under actual processing conditions before bulk use.

Digital Printing Media

Evaluated in ink-receptive coatings where cationic silica supports liquid absorption, surface control and print definition.

Superhydrophilic Coatings

Used in compatible surface-treatment systems designed to provide strong water spreading and hydrophilic behavior.

Paper and Film Coatings

Suitable for coating formulations requiring positively charged silica and controlled particle-size options.

Textile Surface Treatment

Evaluated as a functional silica component in compatible textile finishing and surface-modification formulations.

Anti-Blocking Systems

P12X can be evaluated as a specialty anti-blocking grade for compatible film and cellophane formulations.

Specialty Functional Coatings

Applicable to formulation-development projects requiring inorganic or organically modified cationic silica grades.
