Hydrophobic Silica
VS17

Chemically bonded silane modification for systems where moisture is the enemy.

Overview

Surface-treated for polar systems

VS17 is produced by reacting hydrophilic silica with active silanes (chlorosilane / HMDS types), chemically bonding the treatment agent to the particle surface. The result: low moisture absorption, excellent dispersion, and rheology adjustment capability even in polar systems. Structural modification on top of hydrophobic treatment is available for customers developing new products. White powder, 10 kg paper bag.
