With the arrival of spring, many families begin their annual spring cleaning. After a cold and humid winter, dark corners in your home often become damp due to lack of sunlight and air circulation, becoming a breeding ground for mold and mildew.

To solve this problem, you can start from the source. As a pigment component in coatings, titanium dioxide is widely used for its excellent hiding power and excellent whiteness, helping walls maintain a bright and clean appearance. In order to give full play to the effectiveness of titanium dioxide, its dispersion in the coating must be enhanced through scientific surface treatment to ensure color uniformity and coating consistency.

Among many surface treatment technologies, the application of n-octyltrimethoxysilane (IOTA-5043) is particularly prominent. It not only improves the dispersion of titanium dioxide, but also gives the coating excellent hydrophobic properties through its unique chemical structure - long carbon chain octyl groups. This hydrophobic property significantly reduces the moisture absorption rate of wall coatings, which can effectively prevent mildew problems caused by high humidity.

In addition to being used to treat inorganic fillers, IOTA-5043 can also be used in fabric finishing agents, waterproofing and antifouling agents and other fields.
