Inkjet Receptive Coating Material Silica Dioxide

Introduction

Silica dioxide, also known as silicon dioxide or silica, is a common material used in inkjet receptive coatings. It is a naturally 

occurring mineral that is found in abundance in the Earth's crust. Silica dioxide has several properties that make it suitable 

for use in inkjet receptive coatings:

1. Porous Structure: Silica dioxide has a highly porous structure, which allows it to absorb and hold liquid inks. This property 

is crucial for inkjet coatings as it helps prevent ink bleed and smudging, resulting in sharper and more vibrant prints.

2. High Surface Area: Silica dioxide has a large surface area due to its porous structure. This increased surface area provides 

more binding sites for the ink, allowing for better adhesion and improved color reproduction.

3. Chemical Inertness: Silica dioxide is chemically inert, meaning it does not react with the inks or other chemicals used in the 

printing process. This makes it a stable and reliable material for inkjet coatings, ensuring consistent print quality over time.

4. UV Stability: Silica dioxide is resistant to UV radiation, which can cause fading and degradation of printed materials. By 

incorporating silica dioxide into inkjet coatings, the printed images are protected from UV damage, resulting in longer-lasting and 

more durable prints.

Overall, silica dioxide is an essential material in inkjet receptive coatings due to its porous structure, high surface area, chemical

inertness, and UV stability. These properties help improve print quality, color reproduction, and longevity of inkjet prints.

Product Feature

The primer provides for a consistent surface tension. An absorption of the finishing material into the substrate is prevented to 

a large extent. Additionally, primers offer many advantages that enable a trouble-free further processing: minimization of blocking, minimization of powder application, no scratching.

Application:

A versatile white ink jet receptive coating primer for many different substrates including paper, film, vinyl, metal, canvas, 

Chloroplast, and foam-board.
