Basic Properties
Compared with conventional silica products, Airlica™ features an extremely high precipitation volume and a specific surface area equivalent to gel method silica.
Features
- Sharp particle size distribution
- High pore volume
- Low particle density
- Hydrophobic
Applications
- High Thermal Insulation
- Matting effect
- Light diffusion effect
- Carry and Slow-Release of Active Ingredients
Application: Matting agent
By forming roughness on the surface of the coating film, Airlica™ can scatter light effectively and provide a matte surface.
Application: Heat insulator
Airlica™ is preventing heat transfer by air molecules. Airlica™ has low thermal conductivity and shows excellent thermal insulation properties.
