Which industries can silica sol be used in?

Silica sol is a dispersion of nano-scale silica in an aqueous solution, which has been introduced and used in many industries. So what industries are currently using silica sol? 1. Refractory binder

General refractory binders are commonly used in high temperature environments such as various industrial boilers. After the refractory binder uses silica sol, the refractory can be used in an environment above 1500 degrees Celsius. The refractory binder added with silica sol greatly improves the fire resistance and wear resistance of the refractory, and also has a great decontamination ability, and it is not easy to make a lot of dust adhere to the surface of the product.

Second, the coating industry

The coating industry is one of the industries that uses the most silica sol. The addition of silica sol to the coating can improve the quality of the coating, so that it is no longer troubled by problems such as adhesion. At the same time, the coating with the modified product will become stronger, and the ability to resist fire will be stronger, and the ambient temperature of use can be higher.

3. Thin shell casting industry

When silica sol is used in the thin shell precision casting industry, it can effectively improve the strength of the shell row, and the finish of the casting has also been improved, making its shape better than that of water glass. The cost of production enables companies to improve their operating conditions.

Fourth, the catalyst industry

Why can silica sol still be used in the catalyst industry? This is mainly because the surface area of the colloidal particles of silica sol is relatively large, which can provide a comparative reaction site.

5. Paper industry

Silica sol can also be used in the papermaking industry as a cellophane release agent, a pre-treatment agent for photographic paper, and an anti-slip agent for cement bags.

Of course, in addition to the above five industries, silica sol is also used in the textile industry. With the development of future technology, the use of silica sol will be further expanded and occupy more markets.
