Water Based Paint Selection

Match Surface Chemistry to the Paint System

–CH₂–OH

Acidic Hydroxymethyl Grades

M3005 and M3010 provide 30±1% SiO₂ at pH 3–5 for compatible water-based resin and paint trials.

–CH₂–OH

Near-Neutral Hydroxymethyl Grades

M-T and MX grades provide 30±1% SiO₂, two particle-size options and a published pH range of 7–9.

–CH=CH₂

Reactive Vinyl Grades

VX2505 and VX3010 require formulation-specific evaluation where vinyl groups can participate in compatible reaction systems.

Customizable

Custom Paint Compatibility

Amino or carboxyl functionalization can be reviewed after the resin chemistry, pH and performance targets are provided.

Specification Confirmation

Information Needed for Water Based Paint Evaluation

Provide the resin dispersion, formulation pH, additives and target coating properties before selecting a surface-modified silica grade.

  • Paint system: identify the resin dispersion, coalescent, pigments, fillers and key additives.
  • Particle size: select 6–9 nm or 10–15 nm.
  • Silica content: confirm the required standard concentration or range.
  • pH: select the compatible 2–4, 3–5 or 7–9 grade range.
  • Performance targets: provide hardness, adhesion, drying, blocking, abrasion and storage-stability requirements.
  • Order details: include trial quantity, annual demand, packaging and destination country.

Request Colloidal Silica for a Water Based Paint Trial

Packaging and Storage

Protect Product Stability 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.

FAQ

Colloidal Silica for Water Based Paint Questions

Which colloidal silica grades can be evaluated in water based paint?

Representative options include the hydroxymethyl-functional M, M-T and MX series, plus VX grades for compatible reactive systems.

Why use surface-modified silica in water based paint?

Surface modification can improve compatibility with selected organic resin systems. Actual hardness, drying and stability benefits must be verified in the complete formulation.

Are VX grades suitable for every water based paint?

No. VX grades contain vinyl groups and should only be selected after confirming compatibility and the intended reaction mechanism.

Which compatibility factors should be checked?

Check resin chemistry, pH, ionic components, pigments, fillers, dispersants, rheology modifiers, mixing order and storage stability.

How should colloidal silica for water based paint be stored?

Store it at 0–40°C, prevent freezing and direct sunlight, and keep the container closed.
