Fumed Silica - Hydrophilic Fumed Silica

SiSiB® FS-0380 Fumed Silica

Composition

SiSiB® FS0380 is a hydrophilic fumed silica with a specific surface area of 380 m²/g.

Introduction

Hydrophilic fumed silica is manufactured by hydrolysing volatile chlorosilanes in an oxyhydrogen flame. In chemical terms, the loose white powder consists of highly pure amorphous silicon dioxide. Hydrophilic silica is wetted by water and can be dispersed in water. Hydrophobic silica is produced by the chemical reaction of hydrophilic silica with reactive silanes, e.g. chlorosilanes or hexamethyldisilazane. It has water-repellent properties and is no longer dispersible in water.

All untreated fumed silicas are characterized by:

High purity
Aggregated structure
Submicron particle size
Low bulk density
Hydrophilic surface

Applications

SiSiB® FS-0380 can be applied as a thickening and thixotropic agent in many organic systems, e.g. in unsaturated polyesters, coatings, printing inks, adhesives and others, if high gloss and transparency is required.

SiSiB® FS-0380 can be used as a reinforcing filler in elastomers, mainly silicone-elastomers.

SiSiB® FS-0380 can be used as a free flow additive in the production of powder substances and food stuff.

Packing and Storage

SiSiB® FS-0380 is supplied in multiple layer 10 kg bags.

In the original unopened packaging, SiSiB® FS-0130 has a shelf life of 24 months under dry conditions.
