Antimicrobial additives for architectural paints and impregnates

Novel Microorganisms Resistant HDPE Composites with Wood Fiber and Nanosilica Containing Immobilized Nanosilver

“…High density polyethylene grafted with 0.6 wt % of maleic anhydride (MHDPE) was prepared by melt blending according to the procedure published elsewhere [5] and used as a compatibilizer for nanocomposites at the concentration of 5 wt %. Spherical silica (43 nm) containing 69 500 ppm of immobilized nanosilver (SiO 2 À Ag), synthesized according to the developed sol-gel process [6,7] was used as a nanofiller.…”

Behavior of TiO2 nanoparticles during incineration of solid paint waste: A lab-scale test

“…Silver (Ag), silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), zinc oxide (ZnO), or titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) ENPs are added into traditional paint to improve properties as scratch/abrasion resistance (Scrinzi et al, 2011), biocidic activities (Zielecka et al, 2011), as well as photocatalytic activities in both architectural and decorative coatings (Hochmannova and Vytrasova, 2010). Among all the ENPs, TiO 2 is one of the most used with up to 10,000 t/year of worldwide production (Piccinno et al, 2012).…”

Formulation effects on the release of silica dioxide nanoparticles from paint debris to water

“…Examples of such applications containing ENMs, that have been commercialized, include silica (SiO 2 ) engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) for improving the scratch/abrasion resistance of transparent paints (Scrinzi et al, 2011), silver (Ag) ENPs due to their biocidic activities in paint (Zielecka et al, 2011), as well as titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) and zinc oxide (ZnO) ENPs which can be used as photocatalytic oxides in architectural and decorative paints (Hochmannova and Vytrasova, 2010;Saber et al, 2012).…”
