Features Of Cabot CAB-O-SIL M-5 Fumed Silica

  1. Highly pure, pyrogenically produced amorphous silica with exceptional surface area (~200 m²/g).

  2. Provides efficient thickening, anti-settling, and rheology control in low-viscosity systems.

  3. Offers excellent transparency retention in clear coatings and adhesives.

  4. Delivers strong hydrogen-bonding network formation for robust gel structure at low loadings.

  5. Free-flowing, hydrophilic powder with consistent batch-to-batch performance.

Typical Applications Of Cabot CAB-O-SIL M-5 Fumed Silica

  1. Thixotropic agents in solvent-based and high-solids industrial coatings.

  2. Rheology modifiers in reactive adhesives and sealants (e.g., silicones, polyurethanes).

  3. Anti-caking and flow aids in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical dry blends.

  4. Viscosity stabilizers in specialty inks and overprint varnishes.
