Precipitated Silica is a white, free-flowing, amorphous powder produced by the controlled neutralization of sodium silicate with sulfuric acid. It is chemically inert, odorless, and non-toxic, with a high surface area and excellent absorption properties. Known for its reinforcing, thickening, anti-caking, and free-flow behavior, Precipitated Silica is widely used across various industrial, rubber, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic applications.
Its unique structure and porosity make it a highly versatile additive that enhances product performance in both dry and wet systems.
Applications
- Rubber & Tyre Industry : As a reinforcing filler to improve wear resistance and grip.
- Animal Feed & Food Products : Acts as an anti-caking and free-flow agent (food-grade).
- Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics : Used as a thickener, absorbent, and carrier for active ingredients.
- Detergents & Toothpaste : Improves cleaning efficiency and provides mild abrasiveness
- Paints & Coatings : Provides matting effect and rheology control.
- Industrial Applications : Used in silicone rubber, plastics, adhesives, and sealants.
