A truly versatile ingredient, Levasil® colloidal silica enhances the performance of a wide range of industrial coatings

Our Levasil® products are used to increase corrosion resistance, paint adhesion and scratch resistance for metal surface treatment and metal coatings. Colloidal silica will also reduce magnetic losses when used as a binder in insulation coatings and increase efficiency in electrical steel applications. At the same time, colloidal silica is successfully facilitating the conversion from Cr VI to Cr III in electroplating industries. 
 
For zinc-rich and shop-primer coatings, Levasil® colloidal silica is an excellent binder for producing mechanically stronger coatings that possess excellent welding properties, as well as resisting damage and corrosion. These protective coatings provide ideal protection for steel used in construction.

Organic peroxides for resins 

We offer a wide range of organic peroxide initiators that can be used for acrylic polymer production used in solvent and water-based coating resins. Our product portfolio includes peroxides and azo initiators, which cover all major applications. 

Thioplast liquid polysulfide polymers

Our Thioplast EPS resins have been specifically developed for use in high performance coat­ings and adhesives formulations for indoor and outdoor use. The epoxy-terminated polysulfides increase the adhesion to substrates, enable low-temperature flexibility and improve chemical resistance.

Levasil colloidal silica

Levasil CT20 DH

Levasil® CT20 DH is an acidic, aqueous dispersion of colloidal silica that is approximately 34% solids by weight. The silica dispersion is stabilized by the absence of electrolytes and the amorphous silica particles carry a non charged surface. The silica particles are discrete, have a slightly rough, spherical shape, and are present in a narrow particle size distribution. The physical appearance of the dispersion is a translucent liquid, slightly more viscous than water. Levasil® CT20 DH is produced for world-wide distribution.

Levasil colloidal silica

Levasil CT24 PL

Levasil® CT24 PL is an alkaline, aqueous dispersion of colloidal silica that is approximately 30% solids by weight. The silica dispersion is sodium stabilized and the amorphous silica particles carry a negative surface charge. The silica particles are discrete, have a smooth, spherical shape, and are present in a semi-wide particle size distribution. The physical appearance of the dispersion is a clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water.
