Role of Nano Hydrophobic Silica in Industry and Its Applications (NTS 570)

Nano hydrophobic silica, is a type of silica that has been surface-modified to become water-repellent. This property has led to widespread use of hydrophobic silica in various industries. Hydrophobic silica creates a protective layer on the surface, preventing direct contact between water and the underlying surface. This protective layer causes water to form droplets on the surface and easily slide off.

Applications of Nano Hydrophobic Silica including

• • Paint Industry: Nano hydrophobic silica increases the paint’s resistance to water, moisture, and rain.
  • Polymer Industry: Nano hydrophobic silica lead to increases the resistance of polymers to moisture and corrosion.
  • Textile Industry: Nano hydrophobic silica lead to create water-repellent properties in fabrics and fibers.
  • Automotive Industry: Nano hydrophobic silica lead to create hydrophobic coatings on car bodies.
