Growing awareness of the environment and the legislation resulting from envi- ronmental concerns are the reasons behind the recent sharp increase in the use of water-based coatings. The development of environmentally friendly coatings has for many years been among the most important tasks of the coatings industry. With its various products, Evonik Degussa GmbH, as a supplier of raw materials for the coatings industry, makes a major contribution to this development. AEROSIL? has been successfully used for decades as an additive in the coatings industry. Excellent results have been attained with AEROSIL?, both in conventional and in environmentally-friendly paint systems. AEROSIL? is an ultra-fine, amorphous silica produced by flame hydrolysis. By adjusting the production conditions it is possible to obtain a number of product grades that differ in their specific surface area. All untreated synthetic silicas are hydrophilic because of the silanol groups on the particles‘ surfaces. When these grou
