- Pyrogenic Silica
AL FS-300 hydrophilic fumed silica with its smaller primary particle size makes it more suitable for transparent and semi-transparent systems. Fumed silica’s unique manufacturing process produces a very high purity type of silica with nano size primary particles, a fluffy white powder that is an amorphous and form of silica. These characteristics impart a wide range of benefits to formulations from thickening and reinforcement to free flow and anti-settling.
