Are you still called a novice by others because you don't understand some related knowledge points of silicon dioxide? Why not take a look at this article written by the editor? It will help you shake off the title of "newbie" :
1. Binder
It is used in adhesives made of natural or synthetic rubber, providing thixotropy and reinforcing properties. Meanwhile, due to its stretchability, it can also enhance adhesion. It is of high quality and low price.
2. Anti-caking agent
Silica can be used in some products to enhance free fluidity, such as lawn fertilizers, fungicides, grinding wheel abrasives, rubber sulfur and anti-caking mixtures.
3. Papermaking fillers
Using silica as a paper filler can enhance the paper's resistance to ink transmission and mechanical strength, increase its whiteness and reduce its unit weight. It can effectively achieve paper lightweighting, reduce production costs and improve the performance of paper in use.
4. Daily chemical products
Transparent colored and opaque toothpaste with silica as filler and abrasive. This type of toothpaste has good flexibility and dispersibility. The paste is smooth, soft and has good abrasiveness, and does not erode the toothpaste tube. It can keep the medicinal toothpaste stable.
5. Rubber products
Silicon dioxide is used in colored rubber products to replace carbon black for reinforcement, meeting the requirements of white or semi-transparent products. Silica has strong adhesion, tear resistance, heat resistance and anti-aging properties. Therefore, it can also replace part of carbon black in black rubber products to obtain high-quality rubber products, such as off-road tires, engineering tires, radial tires, etc.
