Features Of Evonik AEROXIDE R972 Fumed Silica

  1. Highly hydrophobic surface treated with dimethyldichlorosilane for superior moisture resistance.

  2. Optimized specific surface area (~100 m²/g) for balanced reinforcement and flowability.

  3. Low density and excellent dispersion capability in non-polar systems including silicone elastomers and adhesives.

  4. Consistent particle morphology and batch-to-batch reproducibility ensured by controlled flame hydrolysis synthesis.

  5. Free-flowing powder with low dust generation, supporting safe and efficient handling in industrial processes.

Typical Applications Of Evonik AEROXIDE R972 Fumed Silica

  1. Thixotropic agent in high-performance RTV and HTV silicone rubber compounds.

  2. Reinforcing filler in solvent-based and high-solids coatings for improved sag resistance.

  3. Viscosity stabilizer in adhesives and sealants based on polyurethane and polysulfide chemistries.

  4. Anti-settling additive in liquid lubricants and greases requiring long-term storage stability.

  5. Free-flow aid in pharmaceutical and food-grade powder blends (when compliant with applicable regulations).
