HYDROPHILIC FUMED SILICA-1

Hydrophilic fumed silica is a type of silica that has been chemically treated to have a strong affinity for water. It is produced 

by a process called fumed silica, where silicon tetrachloride is burned in a flame to produce silicon dioxide particles. These 

particles are then treated with various chemicals, such as trimethylchlorosilane or hexamethyldisilazane, to make them 

hydrophilic.
Hydrophilic fumed silica has a high surface area and can absorb large amounts of water. It is commonly used as a thickening 

and suspending agent in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, paints and coatings, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals. It 

can also improve the flow properties and stability of liquid formulations.
In addition to its water-absorbing properties, hydrophilic fumed silica can also provide other benefits, such as improving the 

rheological properties of a system, enhancing the dispersion of pigments or fillers, and increasing the efficiency of certain 

chemical reactions.
Overall, hydrophilic fumed silica is a versatile and widely used material that offers various benefits in different applications.
