Silicas for plastics, also known as precipitated silicas or fumed silicas, are versatile materials that play an important role in enhancing the properties of polymers. Here are the main applications and benefits of silicas in plastics:
Silica is used to adjust the viscosity of polymers, helping to control flow during processing and improving the molding of plastic products.
When added to polymers, silica can improve the impact, tensile, and flexural strength of plastics, resulting in more durable and resistant products.
In masterbatch formulations and compounds, silica helps to uniformly disperse pigments and other additives, preventing agglomeration and improving the quality of the final product.
Silica is used to control the level of gloss and opacity in plastic films and coatings, allowing greater customization of surface finishes.
Some functional silicas can act as moisture barriers, increasing the water resistance of plastics and prolonging their lifespan.
Silica can be incorporated into plastics as part of flame retardant systems, reducing the flammability of the material.

Benefits
Improved Processability
Silica helps improve the flowability of polymers during processing, making it easier to mold and extrude plastics with complex shapes.
Increased Durability
Adding silica enhances the wear, abrasion, and impact resistance of plastics, extending the lifespan of the final products.
Better Dispersion of Additives
Silica improves the dispersion of additives, such as pigments and stabilizers, ensuring more homogeneous distribution in the plastic material.
Weight Reduction
The incorporation of silica can reduce the density of certain polymers, resulting in lighter plastics, which is particularly advantageous in the automotive and packaging industries.
Chemical Resistance
Silica can increase the chemical resistance of plastics, making them less susceptible to damage from aggressive chemicals.
Control of Optical Properties
Silica allows control over optical properties, such as transparency, gloss, and color, expanding the design possibilities for plastic products.
Additives and catalysts for plastics enhance adhesion between polymers and inorganic materials, boost mechanical strength, improve corrosion resistance, reduce moisture absorption, increase thermal stability, and facilitate material processing.
