WaSiOx (UASI)

DESCRIPTION

WaSiOx (UASI) is a nanotechnological additive based on spherical nanoparticles, uniformly dispersed in water, having average dimensions in the range of 15-25nm.

WaSiOx (UASI) is ideal for:

  • improve the scratch and wear resistance of water-based paints, resins and inks;
  • improve the mechanical properties and reduce the porosity of cements, plasters, paper, cardboard and wood.

Additive also suitable for the finishing treatment of fabrics, to give enhanced mechanical strength to the fibers.

Usage tips

Example of use in paints and resins (with 50% dry residue), to improve scratch resistance:

  • mix WaSiOx (UASI) at a concentration between 1% and 5% by weight, with respect to the solid dry residue of the paint (this percentage must be adapted to the actual dry residue of the paint or resin and to the final properties to be achieved).
