FAQs of Precipitated Silica:

Q: How is Precipitated Silica manufactured?

A: Precipitated Silica is produced through a wet chemical process, where sodium silicate reacts with sulfuric acid under controlled conditions. The resulting silica is filtered, washed, dried, and milled into a high-purity white powder used in various industrial applications.

Q: What are the main uses of Precipitated Silica?

A: This product is used extensively in rubber and tire manufacturing as a reinforcing agent, in paints and coatings for improved consistency, in toothpaste as a thickener and polishing agent, as a free-flow carrier in food, and as an excipient in pharmaceuticals and agriculture.

Q: When should Precipitated Silica be incorporated during production?

A: It is typically added during the mixing stage of formulations, ensuring even distribution throughout the matrix, whether you are producing rubber compounds, coatings, or toothpaste. This maximizes its reinforcing and thickening effects.

Q: Where can I source Precipitated Silica and what packaging options are available?

A: You can source this product directly from reputable manufacturers and suppliers in India. It is available in 10 kg or 25 kg HDPE bags, with customized packaging possible upon request to suit your specific logistical needs.

Q: What are the benefits of using Precipitated Silica in industrial formulations?

A: Precipitated Silica enhances strength, abrasion resistance, and stability in rubber, improves viscosity and anti-settling in paints, and serves as a safe, odorless, tasteless additive in food and pharmaceuticals. Its high oil absorption and specific surface area further boost product performance.

Q: Is Precipitated Silica safe for long-term storage and use?

A: Yes, when stored in its original HDPE packaging in a dry location, Precipitated Silica remains stable and effective for up to 24 months from the manufacturing date, sustaining its quality for long-term production needs.

Q: How should Precipitated Silica be handled and stored for optimal performance?

A: Handle the powder with suitable protective equipment and store it in sealed HDPE bags in a cool, dry environment, away from moisture and contaminants, to preserve its performance characteristics and safety profile.
