Cabot CAB-O-SIL® TS-720 Fumed Silica
Categories:	Other Engineering Material
Material Notes:	CAB-O-SIL TS-720 fumed silica is a medium surface area fumed silica which has been surface treated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). This surface treatment results in a hydrophobic silica with a very different performance than untreated silica. CAB-O-SIL TS-720 fumed silica is characterized by: Thickening efficiency Sag resistance or high film build Anti-settling of pigments and fillers Stable rheological performance over time Key applications: CAB-O-SIL TS-720 fumed silica is used for rheology control in a wide variety of adhesives, composite and coatings applications. This product provides the following performance advantages in medium to high polarity systems: Thickening efficiency Sag resistance or high film build Anti-settling of pigments and fillers Shear-thinning rheological behavior Stable rheological performance over time Epoxy Adhesives and Coatings: In epoxy adhesives and coatings, CAB-O-SIL TS-720 fumed silica provides good thickening efficiency, sag resistance (or film build) and anti-settling of pigments and fillers. Polyurethane Adhesives and Coatings: In polyurethane adhesives and coatings, CAB-O-SIL TS-720 fumed silica provides the same efficient, stable rheology control as in epoxy systems. In addition, the hydrophobic surface of CAB-O-SIL TS-720 fumed silica introduces very little moisture into these systems, retarding premature cross-linking of moisture cured systems. Vinyl Ester Laminating Resins and Gel Coats: While untreated silicas are effective thickeners of unsaturated polyester resins, CAB-O-SIL TS-720 fumed silica is a more efficient, stable rheology control additive for higher polarity systems like vinyl ester laminating resins and gel coats.
