Overview of Precipitated Silica
Precipitated Silica (SiO2) is an amorphous white powder that is widely utilized for rubber reinforcement, pharmaceuticals, food additives, and other personal care items. It's valued due to its huge absorption characteristics, as well as its chemical inertness. It is appropriate for consumer and industrial uses.
The chemical formula for precipitated silica is SiO2. Its structure is composed of amorphous silicon dioxide having an extremely high porosity as well as a large size, resulting in incredible strength and thickness. Precipitated Silica is used extensively to fill in the gaps between layers, as an anti-caking agent, as well as a carrier in a variety of industrial formulations. It is a good addition to Polysantol as well as Polyvinyl Alcohol for specialized coating as well as composites.
Applications of precipitated Silica
Rubber & Tire Industry
- acts as a strengthening filler in tire treads and rubber compounds
- Utilized to enhance the resistance to rolling, wet grip, and the efficiency of fuel
- Improves the mechanical properties and durability of rubber products.
Food & Beverage Applications
- Serves as an anti-caking agent in powdered foods and seasonings
- Used as a clarifying agent in beer, wine, and juice production
- Improves flow properties and prevents clumping in food products
Pharmaceuticals & Personal Care
- Functions as a flow aid, disintegrant, and carrier in tablet formulations
- Used in toothpaste as a thickener and mild abrasive
- Supports cosmetic formulations and topical drug delivery systems
Coatings & Specialty Applications
- Used as a matting agent and a rheology modifier in coatings
- It is used in inks or adhesives. Also, in sealant formulations, it supports silicone rubber production and specialty chemical manufacturing.
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Wear gloves that are chemically resistant or goggles, and wear a protective coat.
- Do not inhale dust or have prolonged contact with skin
- Use only in areas with adequate ventilation or in a dust extraction system
- Keep in sealed containers, in an area that is cool and dry
- Be sure to follow MSDS and other safety procedures for the industry completely
