Description:

AEROSIL® R 972 is a hydrophobic fumed silica after treated with DDS (Dimethyldichlorosilane) based on a hydrophilic fumed silica with a specific surface area of 130m2/g

Applications:

  • Silicone rubber and silicone sealants
  • Paints and coatings
  • Printing inks and toner
  • Adhesives
  • Cable compounds and gels
  • Plant protection

Properties:

  • Hydrophobic component for thickening and reinforcement of RTV-1 K silicone sealants.
