Fumed silica, also known as pyrogenic silica, is a chemical substance that is produced by burning materials. It is made of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica that form chain-like secondary and tertiary particles. It is the main component of glass and ceramics. Fumed silica is acidic because it contains hydroxyl groups, which are essential for hydrogen bonding. It is used for a wide range of industrial applications. It is used in manufacturing glass, eyeglasses, and other products. It is used in the production of glass, eyeglasses, and optical lenses.
Market Dynamics:
Fumed silica is used in the pharmaceutical industry to improve the properties of tablets and capsules. It is also used as a disintegrant, adsorbent, and anticaking agent.
