Degussa vapor phase silicaApplications and market trends of Degussa precipitation silica

1. Overview of silica

Silk black Fumed silica and ultrafine silica gel also include powdered synthetic aluminum silicate and calcium silicate.

Chemical existence mode: White carbon black is a porous substance, and its composition can be represented by SiO2·nH2O. The surface form of nH2O is hydroxyl group. It is soluble in caustic alkali and hydrofluoric acid, but insoluble in water, solvents and acids (except hydrofluoric acid). It is not only resistant to high temperatures, non-flammable, but also tasteless, odorless, and has good electrical insulation.

Silica black is generally divided into precipitation method silica and gas phase method silica according to production method.

Vapor-phase silica is a white flocculent translucent solid colloidal nanoparticle in its daily state. It is non-toxic and has a huge specific surface area. Vapor-phase white carbon black is all nano-silica, with product purity up to 99% and particle size up to 10~20nm, but the preparation process is complex and expensive.

Precipitation silica is divided into traditional precipitation silica and special precipitation silica. The former refers to sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, CO2 and water glass as the basic raw materials. The latter refers to silica produced by special methods such as hypergravity technology, sol-gel method, chemical crystal method, secondary crystallization method or reverse micelle microemulsion method.

2. The role of silica

Precipitated silica is mainly used as a reinforcing agent for natural rubber and synthetic rubber, toothpaste friction agent, etc.

Fused silica is mainly used as a reinforcing agent for silicone rubber, coatings and unsaturated resin thickeners. Ultrafine silica gel and aerogel are mainly used as coatings. Matting agent, thickener, plastic film opening agent, etc.

3. White carbon black brand

Some well-known brands currently involved in silica include: Degussa of Germany, WACKER of Germany, CABOT of the United States, OCI of South Korea, and TOKUYAMA of Japan Brands such as imported fumed silica (imported silica), domestic fumed silica (domestic silica), nanoscale fumed titanium dioxide P25, precipitation silica, Clariant ExolitOP series halogen-free flame retardant.

Degussa fumed silica R972 is mainly used in medicine, cosmetics, toothpaste, adhesives, resin coatings, paints, inks, plastics and other products. Its The characteristics are to improve fluidity and water-resistant product systems, including thickeners and reinforcing agents for RTV silicone rubber, which are added to paste cosmetics to improve the lipophilicity and thixotropy of the system.
