This comparison indicated that BXS-245 precipitated silica was essentially equivalent to fumed silica's reinforcement performance.
Graphical comparisons show the same strength-to-hardness relationship, as seen in the optimized formulas, for both BXS-245 and fumed silica reinforced compounds.
"The fumed silica market is likely to see the highest growth in the sales of hydrophobic fumed silica in the coming years.
With the increasing demand of hydrophobic fumed silica in different industries, manufacturers are focusing on offering better products and also expanding their business.
- The global market for
Fumed (Pyrogenic) Silica is explored in this study with respect to major applications
The
fumed silica obtained is a white amorphous powder with a primary particle size in the range of 7 to 40 nm and BET (Brunauer-Emmet-Teller) surface area ranging from 50 to 400 [m.sup.2]/g.
Synthetic
fumed silica has been used in silicone rubber compounds to improve a variety of properties since at least 1951.
[ClickPress, Tue Apr 16 2019] Global
fumed silica sales are likely to surpass 335,000 MT in 2018, up from 323,733 MT in 2017, according to a new FactMR study.
Summary: The
Fumed Silica Market Research Report provides forecast and estimates for each application in terms of Market Size, Share, Trends & Growth.
This product is a bright white, free flowing powder that can replace up to 50%
fumed silica in silicone elastomers.
The improved reinforcement reduces total compound costs by replacing 50% to 60% of
fumed silica used in silicone rubber formulations, according to the company.
Cabot announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cabot (China) Ltd., has signed a joint venture agreement with Bluestar New Chemical Materials Ltd., a part of the China National Bluestar Group, to manufacture
fumed silica in China.
The Cab-O-Sil Division of Cabot appointed Stochem as distributor of its specialty chemicals product, Cab-O-Sil untreated and treated
fumed silicas, for Quebec and the eastern provinces of Canada.
In 1991, total European demand reached $425 million for eight silica products: colloidal,
fumed, fused, highpurity ground, high-purity quartz, precipitated, micronized gel and nonmicronized gel.
