Fumed Silica for Adhesives and Sealants (Hydrophilic)
CAS Number: 112945-52-5
Hydrophilic fumed silica is a high-purity, nanoscale amorphous silicon dioxide produced by flame hydrolysis, widely used as a thixotropic agent and reinforcing filler in adhesives and sealants. Its very high surface area (150–380 m²/g) and surface hydroxyl groups form a hydrogen-bond network that imparts thixotropy, prevents sag, and reinforces the cured adhesive. It is the primary rheology modifier for epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, and acrylic adhesive and sealant systems.
