Characteristics
Silicon dioxide powder, also known as Silica Powder, is a chemical compound commonly used in the manufacturing of printer
photo paper. It is an essential component of the ink-receiving layer of the paper, which is responsible for absorbing and retaining
the ink to produce high-quality prints.
Silicon dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral that is extracted from silica-rich rocks and purified into a fine powder form. It has
excellent properties that make it suitable for printer photo paper production. Some of its key characteristics include:
1. High absorbency: Silicon dioxide has a high surface area, allowing it to absorb and hold a significant amount of ink. This property
helps to prevent ink smudging and bleeding, resulting in sharp and vibrant prints.
2. Smooth surface: The powder form of silicon dioxide can be processed to create a smooth and even surface on the photo paper.
This smoothness ensures that the ink is distributed evenly across the paper, resulting in clear and detailed prints.
3. Anti-blocking properties: Silicon dioxide powder helps to prevent the printer photo paper from sticking together or blocking during
printing. This property ensures smooth and uninterrupted printing, reducing the chances of paper jams or other printing issues.
4. UV resistance: Silicon dioxide is resistant to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which helps to protect the prints from fading or discoloration
over time. This property ensures that the prints maintain their quality and longevity.
Overall, silicon dioxide powder is an essential chemical material used in the production of printer photo paper. Its high absorbency,
smooth surface, anti-blocking properties, and UV resistance contribute to the production of high-quality prints with excellent color
reproduction and longevity.
