Latest News and Developments:
Fumed silica, or pyrogenic silica, stands as a finely dispersed, amorphous, and synthetic form of silicon dioxide (SiO2). Its creation involves the vapor-phase hydrolysis of silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) within a flame fueled by hydrogen and oxygen. During the manufacturing process, silicon tetrachloride undergoes combustion in a flame composed of hydrogen and oxygen. This chemical reaction leads to the formation of minute silica particles, which subsequently aggregate to form the desired fumed silica structure. The resultant material comprises highly porous nanoparticles boasting a significant surface area. The versatile nature of fumed silica renders it indispensable across a spectrum of industries, including adhesives and sealants, coatings and paints, pharmaceuticals, polymers and plastics, personal care products, and the food and beverage (F&B) sector. Its multifaceted utility stems from its ability to enhance rheological properties and fortify structural integrity.
