Hydrophobic Fumed Silica: The "Functional Guardian" Against Moisture and Blocking

It plays an important role in multiple fields: In the coating industry, adding hydrophobic fumed silica can improve the anti-sagging and water resistance of coatings, preventing coatings from blistering and peeling due to moisture absorption.


Hydrophobic fumed silica is a silica product prepared by the fumed method and modified through special hydrophobic treatment. Its most prominent feature is strong hydrophobicity, which prevents it from absorbing moisture. At the same time, it also has excellent dispersibility and stability.
It plays an important role in multiple fields: In the coating industry, adding hydrophobic fumed silica can improve the anti-sagging and water resistance of coatings, preventing coatings from blistering and peeling due to moisture absorption. In the rubber industry, it can be used as a reinforcing agent to enhance the mechanical properties of rubber, while preventing rubber from sticking due to moisture absorption during storage. In the food additive field, food-grade hydrophobic fumed silica that meets safety standards can be used as an anti-caking agent in powdered foods such as milk powder and coffee powder, preventing powder caking and ensuring product fluidity. With its multi-functional characteristics, it has become an indispensable "functional guardian" in many industries.
