- IMSILĀ® Features and Benefits
- Interior architectural paints formulated with IMSIL® will exhibit strengthened film integrity, increased stain resistance, more uniform sheen control, and excellent “touch-up” characteristics.
- Gloss control, superior chemical resistance, inter-coat adhesion, and color and gloss retention over prolonged exposure.
- Low oil absorption, regardless of particle size, enables formulators to increase loading without adversely affecting critical film properties.
- Exterior coatings containing IMSIL® will better resist weathering, chalking, and under eave frosting.
- When used in primers, IMSIL® also provides the “tooth” necessary for better intercoat adhesion and greater durability in abrasive or corrosive environments.
- IMSIL® has been proven effective in trade sales paints, OEM finishes, marine and industrial coatings, and potting compounds.
- Finer, micronized grades are useful in formulating higher gloss paints, and systems requiring controlled mineral top size, such as industrial OEM topcoat coats and non-conductive inks.
- Intermediate size grades offer ideal and uniform gloss control for topcoats, coil coats and increased inter-coat adhesion between primers and topcoats.
- Coarser grades offer texture, traction properties, gloss control, and abrasion resistance in coatings, grouts, sealants, and related building products.
- All IMSIL® grades are processed with rigid adherence to Covia QIPSM statistical and quality assurance programs. The result is chemical purity and consistently uniform particle size distributions for predictable results and reliable service.
