Anti-Caking and Anti-Agglomeration: The small, uniformly distributed particles of fumed alumina act as spacers, preventing the clumping and caking of pigments and fillers in the coating formulation. This results in a more consistent and homogenous application.
Corrosion Resistance: The high purity and reactivity of fumed alumina contribute to the formation of a protective barrier on metal surfaces. This barrier can help to prevent the ingress of moisture and corrosive substances, thereby enhancing the durability and lifespan of the coating.
Scrub and Abrasion Resistance: The hardness and strength of fumed alumina particles can increase the resistance of coatings to mechanical wear and tear. This is particularly beneficial in applications such as industrial maintenance coatings, where coatings are subjected to frequent cleaning and scrubbing.
Optical Properties: The reflective properties of fumed alumina can contribute to the gloss and clarity of coatings. It can also be used to control the light scattering within the coating, affecting the final appearance, from matte to glossy finishes.
Thermal Stability: Fumed alumina's high-temperature stability makes it an excellent choice for coatings that are subjected to high thermal stress, such as those used in automotive and aerospace applications.
