| Product Description: Mansil silica products are white, amorphous, precipitated silica. They are reinforcing fillers used in synthetic and natural rubber compounding. Mansil products come in two distinct forms: spray-dried and granulated. The advantage of the spray dried form is faster incorporation time and less viscosity buildup while maintaining excellent dispersion. The granulated products reduce “fly-loss” during mixing and provide a cleaner plant environment. Applications: Precipitated silicas increase hardness, tensile strength, abrasion and tear resistance. For mechanical rubber goods, Mansil products can be used as the primary filler or in combination with carbon black. In tire applications, these silicas improve rolling resistance, flex fatigue and enhance traction. In adhesives compounding, silica provides an additional method of promoting improved adhesion, as well as providing reinforcement. Silicas are universally applied to provide increased abrasion resistance, green strength and translucence in the formulating of shoe sole compounds. Information provided by Akrochem Corporation |
