Fumed Silica EC 300
Physical Properties
EC 300 is hydrophilic fumed silica with a specific surface area of 300m2/g. It is a kind of high purity white colloidal powder.
Properties
» Used as anti-settling, thickening, anti-sagging agent
» Improvement of free flow and anti-caking characteristics of powders
» Rheology and thixotropy control of liquid systems, binders, polymers, etc.
» Reinforcement filler in elastomers
» Excellent transparency in unsaturated polyester resins
