Fundamental material properties

Inorganic dispersion stability

By small amounts added, Nichigo G-Polymer™ exhibits good dispersion with silica, alumina and other hydrophilic inorganic compounds.
By small amounts added, it even has good dispersion with colloidal silica, forming films with outstanding transparency and luster.

【Test conditions】
Anionic colloidal silica/resin=9/1
Disperse mixed anionic colloidal silica / resin solution with homogenizer (5,000 rpm for 5 min)
After coating PET film using a bar coater, dry at 105℃ for 5 min

The PET film coated with the dispersion liquid was observed using a microscope.
