Product Family Selection

Choose the Series by Paper Process

Paper grade silica sol should be selected by its role in the mill or coating formulation. Wet-end systems, surface coatings and ink-receptive layers require different charge, particle and compatibility controls.

DM30

Inkjet Paper Coating

DM30 provides 30±1% SiO₂, alkaline pH and low published viscosity for compatible ink-receptive coating trials.

AP Series

Fine Cationic Grades

AP2510 and AP2820 provide 10–30 nm options for cationic paper-making or coating evaluation.

APX Series

Larger Cationic Grades

APX grades cover 50–120 nm for comparative coating structure and specialty-surface development.

PI2020 / P12X

Specialty Modification and Size

PI2020 is organically modified, while P12X provides a 300–600 nm range for specialized paper or film trials.

Buyer Information

Data Needed for Paper Grade Recommendation

  • Application stage: specify wet end, approach flow, size press, surface treatment, coating or ink-receptive layer.
  • Paper specification: identify furnish, recycled content, fillers, basis weight, porosity and surface treatment.
  • Chemical system: list starch, binders, retention polymers, sizing agents, pigments and other charged additives.
  • Process conditions: provide pH, conductivity, solids, viscosity, mixing order, dosage point and drying conditions.
  • Performance targets: define retention, drainage, coating holdout, absorption, drying, printability or anti-blocking requirements.
  • Trial controls: include dosage range, control formula, test method, acceptance limits, trial quantity and destination.
Qualification Route

Validate Chemistry Before Mill Scale-Up

Charge Compatibility

Check interactions with furnish, pigments, binders and polymers under the actual pH and conductivity.

Laboratory Evaluation

Use handsheets or coating drawdowns to compare process response and paper properties against the control.

Pilot or Machine Trial

Increase dosage stepwise while monitoring runnability, deposits, stability and final paper quality.

Finished Paper Testing

Verify the relevant physical, surface, optical, absorption, printing and converting requirements.

Packaging and Storage

Protect Product Stability

Packaging Options

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

Storage Temperature

Store at 0–40°C and prevent freezing. Freezing can cause irreversible gelation.

Direct Sunlight

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight during storage and transportation.

Container Closure

Keep containers closed to reduce evaporation, contamination and silica precipitation.

FAQ

Paper Grade Silica Sol FAQ

Which paper grade silica-sol models are available?

The published range includes DM30, AP2510, AP2820, APX50-20, APX80-30, APX100-30, PI2020 and P12X.

Which grade is directed toward inkjet paper coating?

DM30 is the published inkjet-paper grade, with 30±1% SiO₂ and a pH range of 9.5–10.5.

What is the difference between AP and PI grades?

The AP and APX grades are inorganic cationic products, while PI2020 is identified as an organically modified cationic grade.

Can one paper grade be used for every paper system?

No. Furnish charge, binders, pigments, process water, dosage point and target paper properties differ, so trials are required.

How should paper grade silica sol be stored?

Store it at 0–40°C, prevent freezing and prolonged sunlight, and keep the package securely closed.

Applications

Applications of Paper Grade Silica Sol

The paper grade range supports different wet-end, surface-coating and ink-receptive development directions. Each grade requires validation with the actual furnish, chemicals, coating process and finished-paper specification.

Wet-End Retention Trials

Cationic grades can be screened with compatible polymer programs after furnish chemistry and charge demand are measured.

Drainage and Formation Trials

Laboratory and machine trials can compare drainage, fines retention and sheet formation at controlled dosages.

Paper Surface Coatings

AP, APX and PI grades can be evaluated for coating stability, surface structure and finished-paper properties.

Inkjet Receiving Layers

DM30 can be screened in compatible formulations targeting ink uptake, drying, image density and dot control.

Specialty Paper and Film

P12X and selected larger-particle grades may be assessed for texture, spacing or anti-blocking behavior.

Custom Paper Formulations

Grade and dosage trials can be designed around the buyer's furnish, binder, pigments, process water and test methods.
