Common questions about FMSIL & FUSYL Series in inks and pigments applications
FMSIL (precipitated silica) provides matting and rapid drying via capillary absorption. FUSYL (fumed silica) builds a 3D hydrogen-bonded network for thickening, thixotropy, and pigment suspension.
FMSIL uses high internal porosity and controlled particle size to scatter light at the ink surface, producing a consistent matte finish without harsh surface roughness.
Yes, FUSYL T72 is surface-treated for superior stability and maintains printability and press viscosity under UV/EB curing constraints.
Yes, combining both platforms provides a synergistic effect — FMSIL handles gloss control while FUSYL manages rheology and pigment suspension.
Typical loading ranges are 1–6% for FMSIL and 0.5–3% for FUSYL, depending on the desired matting level and rheological requirements of the formulation.
