Precipitated Silica is a highly versatile synthetic amorphous silica used extensively in the plastics and rubber industry. It enhances the mechanical properties of rubber, providing increased tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and flexibility. In plastics, it functions as an anti-caking, thickening, and reinforcing agent. It is widely used in tire manufacturing, footwear, coatings, adhesives, and as a performance-enhancing filler in polymer formulations.
