SYLOID® AQ 800 silica is an additive for premium performance coating, especially for wood. It is a modified matting agent that enables the formulation of more environmentally friendly waterborne wood coatings with high chemical resistance and transparency that produce natural-looking, deep matte finishes on wood furniture, cabinets, and floors. Unlike typical silica matting agents, Grace’s SYLOID® AQ silicas have unique properties that achieve a highly matted surface with excellent chemical resistance, excellent clarity, and good scratch and metal marking resistance. In addition, SYLOID® AQ silicas are easier to disperse and produce less dusting than typical silica matting agent.
