Description

Precipitated silica is an amorphous form of silica; it is a white, powdery material. Precipitated silica is produced by precipitation from a solution containing silicate salts. The three main classes of amorphous silica are pyrogenic silica, precipitated silica and silica gel.

Precipitated silica
Precipitated silica is a white, powdered type of silica. Precipitated silica is created by precipitating silicate salts from a solution. Quartz sand, a crystalline form of silicon dioxide, is the source of precipitated silica, a synthetic form of amorphous silicon dioxide. There are numerous ways to control the precipitated silica’s physical characteristics during production, resulting in high-performance products for various end uses.

Precipitated silica uses
1. Precipcipcipated silica is used as an adhesive. It can strengthen bonds and strengthen bonds. When a liquid adhesive comes into contact with a solid surface, the scattered silica particles are dispersed—adhesive based on natural and synthetic rubber.
2. It’s a component of PVC sheets. Precipitated Silica improves pigment dispersion, works as a separating agent and an absorbent to enhance flow, and gives the compound a dry feel.
3.For textile cots and aprons, precipitated silica is utilised as reinforcing silica.
