Key Properties

SPHERILEX® DP-0115 Silicon Dioxide has the largest particle size within the SPHERILEX® Silicon Dioxide family, which benefits both abrasion resistance and matting efficiency. The uniquely narrow particle size distribution and absence of oversized particles allows larger particle size of SPHERILEX® DP-0115 Silicon Dioxide to be used even in systems with particle size limitations, while providing a smooth pleasing feel to the coating film.

Product Benefits
  • Maximum burnish and abrasion resistance.
  • Outstanding scrub resistance.
  • Large particle size for enhanced matting.
  • Excellent clarity and color in deep tints.
  • Low binder demand and low visvosity at high loadings.
  • Low abrasive character for improved metal marking and low dirt pick-up.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

Our silica products are inert and extremely stable chemically. However, due to their high specific surface area, they can absorb moisture and volatile organic compounds from the surrounding atmosphere. Therefore, we recommend storing the products in sealed containers in a dry, cool place, and removed from volatile organic substances. Even if a product is stored under these conditions, after a longer period it can still pick up ambient moisture over time, which could lead to its exceeding the specified moisture content. For this reason, our recommended use-by date is 24 months after date of manufacture.
