Silica, amorphous, fumed, cryst.-free

Description:
Amorphous fumed silica, identified by the CAS number 112945-52-5, is a non-crystalline form of silicon dioxide (SiO2) produced through the combustion of silicon tetrachloride in an oxygen-rich environment. This substance is characterized by its fine particle size, high surface area, and low density, which contribute to its unique properties. It is typically a white, fluffy powder that is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water, and it exhibits excellent adsorption capabilities. Amorphous fumed silica is widely used as a thickening agent, anti-caking agent, and reinforcing filler in various applications, including paints, coatings, adhesives, and cosmetics. Its high surface area enhances its effectiveness in these roles, providing improved texture and stability. Additionally, it is chemically inert and does not react with most substances, making it suitable for use in a variety of industrial and consumer products. Safety considerations include avoiding inhalation of dust, as it can cause respiratory irritation. Overall, amorphous fumed silica is a versatile material with significant utility across multiple industries.
