Description
C-Thix 100 is a fumed silica additive that is extremely efficient in Thixotropy and Thickening of many complex polar resins such as ones based on Polyurethane, vinylester, and especially epoxy.
- Extremely efficient in Thixotropy and Thickening of many complex polar resins such as ones based on Polyurethane, vinylester, and especially epoxy
- Guaranteed hydrophobia because of the silicone oil treatment
- The slight oily effect of the treatment adds benefits in a variety of printing processes
- Increases efficiency of the water resistance for moisture sensitive formulation, for example in cosmetics
- Improvement of anti-sagging in epoxy adhesives, coatings, and anti-settling behaviour of pigments
- Because this hydrophobized, small particle silica has great electrical insulating abilities and low water absorption, it can easily acquire and conserve electrical charge. It’s typically used as a surface additive for toner for improvement of flowability and increasing charge
- With silicone oil treatment, C-THIX offers individualized surface treatment
- C-THIX is very effective for achieving a high tribo-charge due to its high hydrophobicity
- Additionally C-thix makes good flowability
Applications
- Thixotropy and thickening agent in adhesives and sealants for fiber optic cables
- Thixotropy and thickening agent for epoxy and vinylester resins and gelcoats
- Thixotropy and thickening agent for cable gels, cosmetics, and lubricants
- Creates an environment for achieving high tribo-charge
- Anti-sedimentation aid for fillers, such as quartz powder and chalk
- Suitable additive for anti-corrosion systems
- Booster silica for defoamers products
- Increases flowability of powders
