SILICA

SILICA

KONASIL, fumed silica is a fluffy, white powder of amorphous structure.

Because of its extremely small particle size and spherical morphology, high surface area, unique surface chemistry and high purity,
this product is being used in various industrial applications.

The average diameter of the spherical primary particle varies from 7 to 40nm by using different reaction conditions during flame hydrolysis.
There are various KONASIL grades with BET surface area between 50 and 380??g.
