Precipitated Silica for Adhesives and Sealants
Precipitated silica is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide produced by wet chemical precipitation, used as a reinforcing filler, thickener, and matting agent in adhesives and sealants. It provides cost-effective viscosity and thixotropy control, improves cohesive strength, and reduces gloss in silicone, polyurethane, and polysulfide sealants. Compared to fumed silica, precipitated grades offer higher pore volume and lower cost, making them suitable for high-fill adhesive and sealant formulations.
