Evonik offers a wide product range of AEROSIL® fumed silica and AEROXIDE® fumed metal oxides for glossy photo ink jet papers. These products create a microporous coating with the ability to instantly absorb ink into their porous network. Many inkjet printers use ultra-fine pigments as a colorant which cannot penetrate polymer coatings and are easily wiped off by touching. Microporous coating with AEROSIL® or AEROXIDE® products ensures high gloss, smearing fastness, excellent resolution, high color density and high color gamut area – the best conditions for long-lasting satisfaction with photo prints. AEROXIDE® and AEROSIL® oxides are also available as AERODISP® dispersions.
