Fumed Silica – Hjsil 200 / Xysil 200

Description

Fumed Silica, also known as Pyrogenic Silica or Amorphous Silica, is a fine, white, and highly dispersible powder of silicon dioxide (SiO2). It is produced by burning silicon tetrachloride or a similar silicon compound in a high-temperature flame, resulting in the formation of nanoscale particles.

Description: Fumed Silica – Hjsil 200 / Xysil 200 refers to a specific grade of fumed silica with the code names “Hjsil 200” or “Xysil 200.” The name may vary based on the manufacturer or supplier. Fumed silica has a high surface area and is composed of individual particles that are small and porous.

Industrial Applications: Fumed silica is widely used as a functional additive in various industries, including:

1. Adhesives and Sealants: Improves rheological properties, thixotropy, and adhesion.

2. Coatings and Paints: Enhances rheology, anti-settling properties, and anti-sagging.

3. Plastics and Rubber: Reinforces and improves mechanical properties.

4. Pharmaceuticals: Serves as a flow aid, anti-caking agent, and helps improve dissolution rates.

5. Food and Beverage: Acts as a thickening agent, anti-settling agent, and stabilizer.

6. Personal Care and Cosmetics: Used as a thickening agent and anti-settling agent.
