FUMED SILICA QUART MPN-2074365

The Whitaker Company's Fumed Silica Quart is an essential component for professionals and DIY enthusiasts seeking to enhance the performance and application of various coatings and adhesives. This finely divided silica powder acts as a powerful thixotropic agent, rheology modifier, and anti-settling agent, transforming the consistency and stability of liquid formulations.

• Key Features
• Versatile Rheology Control: Effectively modifies the flow properties of liquids, preventing sagging and improving brushability.
• Enhanced Stability: Prevents pigments and fillers from settling during storage, ensuring product uniformity.
• Increased Viscosity: Provides thickening power, allowing for precise application and reduced waste.
• Anti-Caking Agent: Keeps powders free-flowing and prevents clumping.
• Reinforcing Filler: Can improve the mechanical properties of certain formulations.

This premium fumed silica is designed to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of products, including paints, coatings, sealants, adhesives, and inks. Its ability to impart shear-thinning properties means that while a formulation might be thick at rest, it becomes easier to apply with the application of shear, such as brushing or spraying. Once the shear is removed, the viscosity quickly recovers, preventing drips and runs. This makes it invaluable for achieving a smooth, professional finish on complex surfaces. Furthermore, its excellent anti-settling capabilities ensure that pigments and other solid components remain evenly dispersed, leading to consistent color and performance over time. The fine particle size and high surface area of fumed silica also contribute to its effectiveness as a reinforcing filler, potentially enhancing the durability and strength of the final applied product. Whether you are formulating a new product or seeking to improve an existing one, the Fumed Silica Quart offers a reliable and effective solution for optimizing performance and application characteristics.
