NANOPARTICLES VS MICROPARTICLES
The production of Fumed Silica 200 uses silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4), hydrogen (H2), and oxygen (O2 ) as raw materials, undergoing hydrolysis and oxidation reactions in a high-temperature flame to produce amorphous silica particles.
Primary particles -> Aggregates -> Agglomerates.
Initially, the flame reaction generates Primary Particles with a diameter of 5–50 nanometers, which are non-porous, independently distributed, and serve as the fundamental units of silica.
Subsequently, these primary particles aggregate through chemical bonding to form Aggregates measuring 100–500 nanometers, featuring a tighter structure and a branched morphology.
Finally, these aggregates further cluster through physical interactions to form Agglomerates ranging from 1–200 micrometers, appearing as loose large particle groups.
FEATURES of FUMED SILICA 200:
*Thickening and Viscosity Improvement.
When Fumed Silica 200 is added to a system, it significantly enhances the viscosity, helping the product reach a specific thickness to ensure performance, while typically not altering other properties of the system.
