Fumed Silica Market Overview

Fumed silica is the kind of silica which covers microscopic droplets of amorphous silica and is used worldwide as a common thickening agent and anticaking agent in powders. It is also termed as pyrogenic silica, largely used in numerous industries such as coatings, paints, adhesives, sealants, cosmetics, plastics and unsaturated polyester resins. Fumed silica is also used in the paints and coating industries, as the anti-settling agent.the increasing usage of fumed silica in respected end-use applications as well as the rapid surge in manufacturing of water repellent paints and coatings and construction of non-corrosive structures will further offer a variety of growth opportunities for the fumed silica market. the dearth of awareness regarding the benefits of fumed silica over precipitated silica and high prices of the product may act as key restraint towards fumed silica market.The increased demand in the paints, coating & sealants industry is expected to drive the demand for fumed silica across the globe during the forecast period. The World Painting and Coating Association outlined that the global painting and coating industry generated revenue of USD 150 billion in 2020, and the industry is increasing its demand for fumed silica, as it improves the property of paints and coatings to meet consumer demand.In the adhesives and sealants industry, fumed silica is used to increase the product viscosity, improve anti-settling properties during storage, control the extrusion properties during the application, and impart anti-sag properties during cure. The additive can also act as a reinforcing agent to improve the physical properties, especially the tear strength of the cured sealant.

Industry News

Evonik, Wynca JV starts up fumed silica plant in China

The joint venture between Evonik Industries AG and the Chinese company Wynca - Evonik Wynca (Zhenjiang) Silicon Material Co., Ltd. is starting up its new fumed-silica plant. Located in the Zhenjiang New Material Industry Park in Jiangsu province, the plant is Evonik’s first fumed-silica production site in China. It will produce fumed silica marketed under the brand name AEROSIL. 

In August 2019, Evonik Industries AG announced the expansion of fumed silica capacities in its plant at Antwerp of Belgium for applications including coatings and paints, modern adhesive systems, transparent silicones, and non-flammable insulation material.

Baltimore Innovations - Suprasil fumed silica powders

Baltimore Innovations has expanded its range of rheological additives of its high-quality Suprasil powders. This new range of fumed silica powders can be used to thicken products that have low viscosity. They are also extremely versatile, and can be used as anti-caking and anti-sagging agents as well, according to the firm. Suprasil powders can be use in the coatings, inks and adhesives industries, as well as the rubber, sealants and color concentrate sectors.
