Typical applications for precipitated silicas include:
Films for battery separators.
Additives to tires, shoe soles and other rubber items (e.g. cell phone keypads) to increase abrasion resistance and improve wet slip behavior and rolling resistance.
Additives that improve the flow behavior of feed, soup and drink powders or other substances that should not cake (e.g. the powder in fire extinguishers).
Coatings for inkjet papers that enable quick drying and better print quality.
Defoamer in detergents.
Protein adsorber in beer production.
Matting agent for paints, especially clear coats in wood and automotive interiors
Addition to liquids to improve filtration properties (filter aids, precoat filtration)
