Common questions about Precipitated & Fumed Silica in paints & coatings applications
FMSIL (precipitated silica) provides matting through controlled porosity and particle size. FUSYL (fumed silica) builds a 3D hydrogen-bonded network for thickening, thixotropy, and pigment suspension.
FMSIL's high internal porosity and controlled particle size scatter light at the paint surface, producing a consistent matte finish without harsh surface roughness or film distortion.
Yes, combining both provides a synergistic effect — FMSIL handles gloss control and matting while FUSYL manages rheology, anti-sag, and pigment suspension in the same system.
Typical loading ranges are 2–8% for FMSIL and 0.3–2% for FUSYL, depending on the desired matting level, system viscosity, and rheological requirements.
Yes, FUSYL B2 (hydrophilic grade) is specifically designed for water-based paints, providing effective rheology control, anti-settling, and transparency retention in aqueous systems.
