AEROSIL® R 974 W

AEROSIL® R 974 W is a hydrophobic fumed silica aftertreated with DDS (Dimethyldichlorosilane) based on a hydrophilic fumed silica with a specific surface area of 200 m²/g. The product thickening efficiency of AEROSIL® R 974 W is consistent with the Waterford-produced AEROSIL® R 974. This profile is different than the thickening profile of standard AEROSIL® R 974 quality produced in Rheinfelden.

Unlock new possibilities by using engineered silica in printing inks

Recorded Webinar: As the printing industry advances towards higher printing speeds and a broader range of graphic effects, the utilization of both fumed and precipitated silica in printing inks has become prevalent. The choice of particle sizes and surface treatments plays a crucial role in influencing the ink formulation's matting effect and rheology behavior. This presentation aims to explore the benefits of using engineered silicas such as AEROSIL®, ACEMATT®, SIPERNAT®, and SPHERILEX® in printing inks applications. The discussion will focus on how these silicas can enhance key properties like Rheology Control, Matting, Anti-block, and scratch resistance in the ink formulations.
