Paint
Silica's hardness and inertness help it withstand wear, tarnish, abrasion, and stains. Binder consumption is reduced by the narrow size distribution and bright white color, which results in good color. It's also commonly used in paint compositions to replace up to 50% of titanium dioxide
To generate textural and bodying features in oil paint without compromising the color, add silica to the paint and media. Because drying oil has minimal color, silica can be added to oil paint without changing the color’s tint. Because of its hardness, it tends to give paint a distinct texture. To give texture or ‘tooth’ to chalk or gesso grounds, mix it in with the chalk or gesso.
