Silicon dioxide ( Erosil – NV/200 XL 5M) (5 Microns)

Silicon dioxide ( Erosil – NV/200 XL 5M )(5 Microns), also known as fumed silica, is a versatile and highly effective additive that finds applications in a wide range of industries. AEROSIL particles are extremely small, with a high surface area, making them valuable for various purposes.

“Erosil – NV/200 XL 5M” is a specific product variant, and can provide general uses and applications of AEROSIL: 

• Coatings and Paints: AEROSIL is used as a rheology control agent and anti-settling agent in coatings and paints. It improves the viscosity and thixotropy of the formulations, preventing settling of pigments and maintaining stability.
• Adhesives and Sealants: In adhesives and sealants, AEROSIL is used to adjust viscosity, control sagging, and enhance the mechanical properties of the final product. It can improve the thixotropic behavior and adhesion strength.
• Silicone Rubber: AEROSIL is used in silicone rubber formulations to improve the mechanical properties and processability. It increases reinforcement, tear strength, and abrasion resistance of the rubber.
• Plastics and Polymers: It’s used as an anti-blocking agent in plastic films to prevent them from sticking together. It can also enhance the mechanical properties of plastic materials and improve their flow properties during processing.
• Personal Care and Cosmetics: AEROSIL is used in cosmetic and personal care products such as creams, lotions, and powders as a thickening agent, anti-caking agent, and to provide a matte finish.
• Food and Pharmaceuticals: In food and pharmaceuticals, AEROSIL can be used as an anti-caking agent to prevent powders from clumping together. It can also improve the flowability of powdered ingredients.
• Inks and Toners: AEROSIL can be used in printing inks and toners to control viscosity and prevent settling of pigments. It helps in achieving consistent print quality.
• Catalyst Carrier: AEROSIL can be used as a support material for catalysts in various chemical reactions due to its high surface area and porosity.
• Powder Coatings: In powder coatings, AEROSIL is used to control flowability, prevent caking, and improve the even distribution of pigments.
• Lubricants and Greases: AEROSIL can be used to thicken and stabilize lubricants and greases, enhancing their performance and preventing separation.
• Construction Materials: AEROSIL is used in construction materials such as concrete and mortar to improve their rheological properties, workability, and durability.
• Anti-Settling Agent: It’s commonly used to prevent settling of solids in various liquid formulations, maintaining uniform dispersion.
