02 / REINFORCEMENT & FUNCTIONALITY

A functional role.
Across formulations.

Reinforcing and functional silica for rubber, cable compounds, footwear, anti-blocking and carrier applications.

Start with the function.

Precipitated silica brings reinforcing and functional roles to a range of rubber and polymer applications. The appropriate material depends on the function required in the formulation.

Reinforcement, anti-blocking and carrier applications place different demands on a silica. Define the intended function, the polymer or rubber system and the processing route before considering a grade.
