Hjsil® R272 is a high-purity, hydrophobic fumed silica treated with Dimethyldichlorosilane (DDS). This white colloidal powder offers excellent anti-settling, anti-caking, and anti-sagging properties, making it ideal for use in RTV silicone adhesives and sealants. Its hydrophobic nature enhances water resistance in formulations, while its thickening and thixotropic characteristics provide enhanced rheological control. This silica is particularly effective as a thickener in both plastics and elastomers, where it improves the flow and consistency of the final product. Hjsil® R272 is compatible with RTV silicone, offering stability and reinforcing properties in silicone-based formulations. Available in bags, this product is used in various applications, including adhesives, sealants, and coatings, where it delivers superior performance in preventing settling and sagging.
