Colloidal silica (CC301) is a valid alternative to surface siccative agents such as Co salts in alkyd based paints.
Properties such as drying time, open time, hardness, blocking and dirt pick-up resistance are preserved in presence of colloidal silica (CC301) and in some cases even improved.
These results have to be attributed to a thin layer of silica covering the paint surface. The inorganic layer originates from migration and accumulation of the silica nanoparticles (CC301) during the film formation.
