Untreated Hydrophilic Amorphous Fumed Silica K-150

K-150

Untreated Hydrophilic Amorphous Fumed Silica K-150 is a high-purity white fluffy powder characterized by its large specific surface area of 150 m²/g. This versatile material is widely used in various industrial applications due to its exceptional properties

Key Functions and Applications:

• Rheology & Thixotropy Control: K-150 effectively modifies the flow behavior of liquids, providing optimal viscosity adjustment and thixotropic properties, making it ideal for coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
• Improvement of Free Flow: It acts as an anti-caking agent, enhancing the flowability of powdered products in food, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries.
• Adsorption: Due to its high surface area, it serves as an excellent adsorbent for liquids and gases, useful in catalysis, filtration, and desiccant applications.

• Reinforcement: When incorporated into polymers, elastomers, or composites, it significantly improves mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and durability.

• Suspension: It stabilizes suspensions and prevents settling in liquid systems, ensuring uniform dispersion in paints, inks, and ceramic slurries.

Applications

Packing

K-150 is supplied in a paper bag of 10kg and a bigbag of customized quantity. The paper bag consistsof multiple layers and contains PE coated layerbetween the papers.

Storage

K-150 is a chemically stable material and does not degrade under normal conditions. However, to maintain optimal performance, the following storage guidelines should be followed:

• Protect from moisture – Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent clumping.
• Avoid exposure to strong chemicals – Keep away from reactive substances that could affect its properties.
• Recommended shelf life – Although stable, it is advisable to use the product within two years of production for best results.
• Seal opened bags tightly – If not used completely, reseal the packaging to minimize exposure to humidity.

Proper storage ensures that K-150 retains its high purity, flowability, and performance characteristics throughout its lifecycle.
