Marine Coatings

Our hydrophobic fumed silica products are particularly well-suited for marine applications. In addition to anti-sag and anti-settling properties, it can provide improved corrosion resistance, chemical resistance and scratch resistance of the cured polymer coating.​

In the corrosive marine environment, metal protection is of utmost importance to protect valuable assets used in oil and gas, shipping, and coastal industrial applications.

Today’s marine coatings employ a variety of additives to achieve this protection and coatings are often applied in a relatively thick film. Our CAB-O-SIL® fumed silica is incorporated into these systems to prevent settling and provides effective sag resistance during the application of thick films.
