LUDOX® AM, 30% Silica
LUDOX® AM is a colloidal silica modified to be stable over a wide pH range. It is used primarily as a binder, surface modifier, and flocculant.
LUDOX® AM is an aqueous dispersion of 30% silica with a particle size of 12 nm. Its silica particles have been modified with aluminate ions to give broader pH stability than standard alkali-stabilized LUDOX® grades. LUDOX® AM can be incorporated at neutral to slightly acidic pH to yield a stable formulation, allowing for use in a variety of applications.
LUDOX® AM is used as a binding additive in latex-based coatings and adhesive formulations to improve durability and cohesive strength. Like other LUDOX® grades, it is ideal for ceramic and refractory applications, where it serves as a binder to increase mechanical and thermal shock resistance. LUDOX® AM may also be used as a flocculant for positively charged particles in wastewater and a retention aid for paper manufacturing.
Poor cohesive strength and abrasion resistance of coatings and adhesives Low thermal and mechanical shock resistance of ceramics and refractories Blocking and soil deposition issues with architectural coatings Incompatibility of colloidal silica binders with acidic formulations
