Some tips on fumed silica provided in this post, along with advice on where/how to purchase fumed silica. Freight is a large part of the price Fumed silica is very light. Take containers as an example, one 20’GP load only 1,800KG fumed silica, while it loads 25,000KG PAC. Assume the freight to the destination is…
Fumed Silica
FUMED SILICA Fumed silica (CAS number 112945-52-5), also known as pyrogenic silica because it is produced in a flame, consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chainlike, three-dimensional secondary particles which then agglomerate into tertiary particles. Synonyms Pyrogenic silica; XYSIL; Aerosil; Cab-O-Sil; Cabosil; silicon dioxide amorphous, synthetic amorphous silica; fumed SiO2; colloidal…
Is fumed silica dangerous?
The general answer is «no», fumed silica is not a dangerous material. Fumed silica is an non-toxic non-harmful material. It is not combustible nor explosive. In fact fumed silica has been applied in cosmetic, food and drugs for years. Due to its strong hygroscopicity(absorbing moisture), it may caused dry skin when directly contacted with skin.…
Hydrophilic Fumed Silica
What is hydrophilic fumed silica Hydrophilic fumed silica is a nanomaterials with strong hygroscopicity(absorbing moisture). This fluffy white powder is based on high purity amorphous silica. It is can be wetted by water, and dispersed in water forming a suspension.
Annoucement: adjusting fumed silica price higher
Adjust price of fumed silica We decide to adjust our price higher due to follow: Bad situation of poly-silicon causes the sharp shortage of SiCl4 — the raw material of fumed silica. The cost of the raw material is now 40% more than before. Xunyu Chemical has to adjust the price. Notes for existing customers…
