How to Make High-End Coatings ‘Thinner, Stronger and More Durable’
In the quest for high-performance coatings, we are often faced with a dilemma: to achieve greater durability, we must apply a thicker coating, yet a thicker coating is prone to cracking.
The development and production of Potassium Titanate Fiber by Shanghai Promaterial Industrial Co., Ltd. has broken this deadlock. As a high-performance reinforcing filler, it offers three key benefits:
• Physical Properties: Embedded in the coating in a fibrous form, it significantly enhances impact resistance and flexibility.
By comparison, CaCO3 powder is a basic filler primarily used for filling, adjusting gloss and reducing costs. Talc powder focuses on crack resistance, anti-settling and water resistance, and is particularly effective at resolving ‘cracking’ and sedimentation issues.
• Thermal insulation: Low thermal conductivity combined with high infrared reflectivity significantly reduces the internal temperature of the substrate.
•Abrasion resistance: Unique self-lubricating properties make the coating surface more scratch-resistant.
Most importantly, a performance leap can be achieved with just a small amount of addition in high-end coatings.
