Nano-Silica Colorant
A waterborne colored flooring system that replaces epoxy flooring - non-yellowing, low VOC and equally abrasion resistant
Epoxy Flooring Alternative
It delivers comparable abrasion and chemical resistance while replacing solvent-based epoxy with a waterborne nano-silica system. VOC is only about 1/10 of epoxy, with low jobsite odor and better environmental and personnel friendliness.
UV Non-Yellowing
Core nano-silica technology: xenon lamp aging for 1000h with color difference ΔE ≤ 2 (epoxy typically ΔE > 5). No more concern about floor yellowing under long-term sunlight.
Rich and Durable Color
Full standard RAL color range plus custom matching. The waterborne system keeps color saturated and stable, maintaining the initial installed effect for 5-8 years.
What Is Nano-Silica Colorant
Nano-silica colorant is a waterborne colored flooring system based on nano-silica technology. It can serve as an upgraded alternative to epoxy flooring for commercial, industrial and public spaces.
Compared with traditional epoxy, it is significantly better in VOC emissions, UV stability, installation odor and long-term color retention. It retains epoxy's high strength, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance while solving two key epoxy pain points: solvent-based installation that is unfriendly to people and the environment, and yellowing under UV exposure.
It has already been used as an alternative in many projects originally specified for epoxy, with mature cases in underground parking areas, factory workshops, schools, hospitals and commercial spaces.
Typical Applications
Factory Workshops
Office buildings, retail showrooms and hotel back-of-house areas. Low VOC and stable color mean interiors no longer have the sharp odor associated with epoxy.
Industrial Plants
Medium-duty industrial floors, assembly lines, electronics factories and light textile plants. Comparable abrasion resistance with a more friendly waterborne system.
Retail Back-of-House Areas
Public buildings have high requirements for VOC, cleanability and anti-slip performance. This is an ideal scenario for nano-silica to replace epoxy.
Underground Parking Areas
A scenario traditionally dominated by epoxy. Nano-silica resists yellowing for years, withstands brake oil marks and keeps color durable.
Data Centers & Laboratories
For spaces with high requirements for static control, dusting control and appearance stability. Can be used together with anti-static systems.
Sports & Cultural Venues
Large-area seamless installation with UV non-yellowing performance, suitable for public spaces with skylights or large windows.

Project Cases
Nano-silica colorant has been widely installed in many typical application scenarios. The following are examples; contact sales for the complete project portfolio.
Factory Workshops
Office and retail spaces originally specified for epoxy switched to nano-silica, achieving zero indoor odor and color that remains like new after 5 years.
Retail Back-of-House Areas
For public buildings with strict VOC limits, waterborne nano-silica replaces epoxy and supports environmental acceptance.
Underground Parking Areas
A common epoxy application scenario. Nano-silica resists yellowing for years, withstands brake oil marks and prevents yellowing in sun-exposed areas.
