Other Applications of Q-Sil PPT silica
- Liquid Systems
Due to high surface area they function as clarifying and adsorption agents (e.g.beverages). - Adhesives
To adjust rheology and provide reinforcement. - Greases / Lubricants
For rheology control. - Paint, Dyes & Printing inks
As a flatting / matting agent to reduce gloss or as a filler.
