Applications of Precipitated Silica
Precipitated silica is highly useful in enhancing strength of
the bond and as a thickening and reinforcing agent. The highly dispersed silica
particles contained within liquid adhesive will harden fast when it’s in
contact with any solid surface. In synthetic and natural rubber-based adhesives
both.
Silica provides reinforcement, promotes adhesion, and
thixotropy, and also serves as extenders which raises the quality of the
product and also lowers cost. To provide reinforcement and adjust rheology.
Silica will prevent resin separation and settling of the
heavy fillers and pigments.
It also prevents excessive penetration of the adhesive into
the porous adherents. Silica will improve flow control and also heat resistance
of hot-melts in application. Silica also serves as a free-flowing agent for
spray-dried resins.
Footwear
Dispersed silica is used a lot in shoe soles pertaining to
its resistance to wear and tear, its non-scuffing characteristics to obtain
compounds with the light color or even semi-transparent materials. Silica
provided by the Precipitated Silica Suppliers will offer superior durability and
along with improved modulus and resilience.
It acts as a white reinforcer which facilitates manufacture of colored end product.Since precipitated silica is really white in color, it will allow formulator to produce colored or translucent non-marking soles.
Solid and rubber tyres
Precipitated silica has applications in the tyre industry. Precipitated
silica for tyres is
used to improve tear resistance of heavy equipment and truck tyres and is used
to enhance the adhesion between the rubber and the metallic reinforcement of
the radial tyres.
