Paint & Coatings Industry, August 1st, 2005
Because of its expertise in inorganic chemistry (rare earths, silicas, zirconium, titanium), Rhodia has regularly developed nanoparticle systems (with particle diameters typically between 5 and 100 nanometers) for more than 10 years. Fields of application vary from tires and cosmetics to plastics and coatings or catalysis/filtration. This knowledge has been adapted to coatings technologies, especially for organic transparent coatings, such as those used in wood coatings.
There are advantages brought by cerium oxide nanoparticles for meeting the performance needs of the wood coating industry...
