SHIVASOL™ Precipitated Silica
Precipitated Silica is a high-purity, synthetic amorphous silica produced under controlled conditions as a fine, white, free-flowing powder. With high surface area, controlled particle size, and consistent absorption characteristics, it supports reliable performance across a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.
It is widely used in rubber, tires, footwear, oral care, food, animal feed, coatings, plastics, adhesives, sealants, and personal care formulations, where it functions as a reinforcing agent, thickener, absorbent, anti-caking agent, and flow aid.
Product Overview
Versatile Silica for Performance-Driven Formulations
Precipitated Silica is a synthetic, amorphous form of silicon dioxide manufactured through a controlled precipitation process. Supplied as a fine, white, free-flowing powder, it offers high surface area, controlled particle size, and excellent absorption properties for consistent formulation performance.
Its combination of reinforcement, thickening, absorption, and flow-control properties makes it suitable for diverse applications across rubber, tires, oral care, food, animal feed, coatings, plastics, adhesives, sealants, and personal care.
Designed for predictable processing and consistent performance, Precipitated Silica helps manufacturers improve mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, rheology, flowability, texture, and overall product stability.
