Fumed Silica

Fumed silica is a synthetic form of silicon dioxide obtained through high-temperature processes that generate ultrafine particles with a large surface area. This structure allows it to efficiently interact with liquids and polymers, modifying the viscosity and rheological behavior of the systems where it is incorporated. Depending on the specific surface area of the product, fumed silica can provide different levels of thickening, sedimentation control and reinforcement, adapting to the needs of each application. It is characterized by its high purity, extremely fine particle size and high specific surface area, allowing it to act as a thickener, thixotropic agent, anti-settling agent and reinforcement in a wide variety of applications.

What are Fumed Silica Decoratives used for?

Thanks to its physicochemical properties, fumed silica is widely used in adhesives, sealants, coatings, inks, elastomers, resins and powder systems where improved stability, flow control or increased mechanical performance of the formulation is required.
