AEROSIL R 972 V Densified hydrophobic fumed silica 68611-44-9 Degussa-Silanes Rheology Modifier/ Thickener Coatings Inks INKS >> Lithographic and Offset Inks AEROSIL® R 972 V is a densified hydrophobic fumed silica after treated with DDS(Dimethyldichlorosilane) based on a hydrophilic fumed silica with a specific surface area of 130 m²/g. It possesses hydrophobic reinforcing component for HCR-silicone rubber, water resistant, hydrophobising of liquid systems, rheology control of (complex) liquid systems, for use in coatings as anti-settling agent, for pigment stabilization and improvement of corrosion protection, improves hydrophobicity and rheology of offset printing inks, reduced dust development, improvement and maintenance of free flow and anti caking characteristics of powders, improved incorporation and handling when applying sufficient sheer forces. It is used in silicone rubber, paints and coatings, printing inks and toner, adhesives, cable compounds and gels. Densified hydrophobic fumed silica. Used paints and coatings, printing inks. Offers water resistance, hydrophobising of liquid systems. Provides improvement in hydrophobicity and rheology of offset printing inks. Also offers improvement and maintenance of free flow and anti- caking characteristics of powders. Possesses pigment stabilization and improvement of corrosion protection.
