Quick answers about our fumed silica formulations and supply.
What is the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic fumed silica? +
Hydrophilic fumed silica has surface silanol groups (Si-OH) that make it water-wettable — ideal for aqueous systems and polar resins. Hydrophobic grades are surface-treated with HMDS, DDS, or PDMS to replace -OH with non-polar groups, enabling use in non-polar systems like silicone rubber and solvent-based coatings.
Can SEMITECH provide 1:1 replacements for AEROSIL or Cab-O-Sil grades? +
Yes. SEMITECH engineers direct technical equivalents to major competitor grades including Evonik AEROSIL®, Cabot Cab-O-Sil, and Wacker HDK. Each replacement is validated for matching BET surface area, rheological performance, and application compatibility.
