PPG’s silica products business, which operates within the company’s specialty coatings and materials strategic business unit, manufactures and supplies precipitated silica products to major manufacturers around the world as performance-enhancing additives.
Spherical silica EXP 0002-1 is characterized by a particularly small particle size, and is suitable for architectural paints, as well as waterborne, deep-matte, and silk-gloss wood coatings. The silica helps extend the durability of a coating by improving its scratch and abrasion resistance. At the same time, the silica provides a matte or silk-gloss appearance to meet customers' aesthetic requirements.
