Nyad® for paints & coatings

Reduce VOCs – without reducing performance

Nyad wollastonite is a calcium metasilicate engineered to have distinctive needle-shaped particles. This formation reduces internal stress and reinforces the mechanical properties of a paint film. Nyad’s low oil absorption and acicular morphology also make it an ideal extender for high-performance, low-VOC coatings and powder coatings.

Nyad wollastonite also brings higher flexibility and impact resistance to coatings while supporting adhesion, reducing cracking and checking, and providing high thermal shock resistance. It can even prolong the service life of coatings. 

It’s a perfect range for producers of marine and protective coatings, industrial coatings, coatings for wind turbines, and applications in the aerospace and automotive industries that need high heat resistant coatings.
