Product Description
Precipitated Silica is a synthetic, amorphous form of silicon dioxide produced by reacting sodium silicate with sulfuric acid, followed by precipitation, filtration, and drying. It appears as a fine, white powder with low bulk density, high porosity, and excellent dispersibility, making it suitable for a wide range of uses.
It is valued for its reinforcing, thickening, and anti鈥慶aking properties. In rubber compounds, especially tires, it improves strength, wear resistance, and performance. It also acts as a free鈥慺low agent in food and feed, a thickener in coatings and adhesives, and a polishing agent in oral care products. Its versatility extends to plastics, agriculture, and specialty chemicals, where it enhances product quality and reliability.
