Fumed Silica, ( EROSIL – NV/200 XL 5M, Fumed silica, such as Erosil-NV/200, is a type of amorphous, nano-sized silica produced by the vapor-phase hydrolysis of silicon compounds is a versatile and widely used material in various industries due to its unique properties.
In epoxy paints and polyurethane applications, fumed silica serves several essential functions: 
Thixotropic agent: Fumed silica acts as a thixotropic agent, meaning it imparts a shear-thinning property to the epoxy and polyurethane formulations. This property allows the material to flow easily during mixing and application but thicken or gel quickly after application, preventing sagging or dripping from vertical surfaces.
Rheology control: Fumed silica helps control the viscosity and flow behavior of epoxy and polyurethane paints. It enhances the overall stability and consistency of the coating, making it easier to apply and improving its workability.
Anti-settling agent: Fumed silica particles have a high surface area and form a three-dimensional network within the paint or coating. This structure prevents settling of pigments and other solid particles, leading to better color and stability over time.
Improved mechanical properties: When added to epoxy and polyurethane formulations, fumed silica can enhance their mechanical properties, such as hardness, tensile strength, and abrasion resistance. This can result in more durable and long-lasting coatings.
Anti-scratch and anti-blocking properties: The addition of fumed silica can improve scratch resistance and prevent blocking (sticking together of coated surfaces) in epoxy and polyurethane films.
Reinforcement: Fumed silica can act as a reinforcing filler in epoxy and polyurethane matrices, improving their overall performance and strength.
Applications of EROSIL – NV/200 XL 5M in epoxy paints and polyurethane coatings include:
Industrial coatings: Epoxy paints and polyurethane coatings containing fumed silica are commonly used for protective coatings in industrial settings due to their excellent resistance to chemicals, weathering, and abrasion.
Automotive coatings: Fumed silica helps improve the performance and durability of automotive paints, providing a glossy finish and protection against environmental factors and road debris.
Marine coatings: Epoxy and polyurethane coatings with fumed silica are applied on ships and marine structures to protect against corrosion and harsh sea conditions.
Flooring systems: Fumed silica is used in epoxy and polyurethane-based flooring systems to enhance adhesion, abrasion resistance, and overall durability.
Adhesives and sealants: Fumed silica is utilized in epoxy and polyurethane-based adhesives and sealants to improve their bonding strength, flexibility, and resistance to moisture.
