Hydrophobic Fumed Silica for Enhanced Performance

Aerosil R972 Powder, surface-treated with dimethyldichlorosilane, possesses exceptional hydrophobic properties, making it ideal for moisture-sensitive applications. Its amorphous form and consistent quality ensure reliable usage in coatings, silicone rubber, adhesives, and paints. This technical grade powder meets high industrial standards for purity and versatility.

Wide-ranging Applications

Aerosil R972 is widely used in industries such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, coatings, and adhesives due to its ability to control rheology, prevent caking, and reinforce materials. Its high thermal stability and inert chemical nature make it compatible with a variety of formulations, supporting functionality in challenging environments.

Simple, Stable Handling and Storage

Supplied as a fine, white powder that is tasteless and odorless, Aerosil R972 should be stored at room temperature. It remains stable above 1000C and is insoluble in water, ensuring user-friendly handling in manufacturing settings while retaining its physical integrity over time.

FAQs of Aerosil R972 Powder:

Q: How is Aerosil R972 Powder typically used in industrial applications?

A: Aerosil R972 Powder functions as a thickening agent, anti-caking agent, and reinforcement material in silicone rubber, coatings, adhesives, paints, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Its hydrophobic surface allows effective rheology control and improves processing efficiency in these industries.

Q: What benefits does the hydrophobic surface treatment provide?

A: The dimethyldichlorosilane treatment makes Aerosil R972 powder water-repellent, allowing it to perform reliably in moist and humidity-prone environments. This hydrophobicity enhances its effectiveness as a thickening and anti-caking agent, particularly in silicone rubber, coatings, and adhesives.

Q: When should Aerosil R972 be selected over untreated fumed silica?

A: Aerosil R972 is recommended when moisture resistance, improved reinforcement, and high thermal stability are needed, such as in silicone elastomers, solvent-based coatings, and pharmaceutical formulations that require hydrophobic properties and low moisture absorption.

Q: Where is Aerosil R972 manufactured and distributed?

A: Aerosil R972 is supplied by manufacturers, dealers, distributors, and traders in India, and conforms with industry standards (CAS No: 68909-20-6, EINECS No: 231-545-4, HS Code: 28112200) for technical grade hydrophobic silica.

Q: What is the process for dispersing Aerosil R972 in a formulation?

A: To disperse Aerosil R972, gradually add the powder to solvent-based or non-aqueous formulations under high-shear mixing. This prevents agglomeration, ensuring uniform distribution and optimal rheological properties. It does not dissolve in water, thus dispersal should be done in compatible solvents.

Q: What storage conditions are required for Aerosil R972 Powder?

A: Aerosil R972 Powder should be stored in a dry, room temperature environment in its original packaging. Proper storage prevents contamination and maintains the powders hydrophobicity and structural integrity for prolonged industrial use.
