Levasil Colloidal Silica Frictionizing
Increasing surface roughness
Increasing the coefficient of friction of a surface is called frictionizing. Levasil Colloidal Silica, added to waterborne coating formulations, or applied directly (sprayed) onto substrate surfaces, interacts to produce a higher coefficient of friction on the treated surface.
This higher coefficient of friction is produced in two primary ways:
After drying, the surfaces in both cases are populated by the small silica particles, increasing their surface roughness and thereby the coefficient of friction.
