Conclusion Syloid ED 30
UV-Curable Systems: Effective in radiation-cured acrylate systems.
This grade is highly versatile and widely used across several coating sectors:
Syloid ED 30 is a gel silica, meaning it has high internal porosity (typically 1.6 – 1.8 ml/g). The TDS highlights this because higher porosity equals higher matting efficiency per unit weight. This allows you to use less additive, saving money and maintaining film integrity.
