Precipitated Silica has become key filler for the tire industry due to its properties and performance. Precipitated silica in tire improves physical & dynamic properties such as tensile strength, abrasion resistance, tear resistance, wet grip etc.
Silica is perceived by the tire industry as a material which can address the environment challenges associated with the tire production, and can replace carbon black in the tires. Brisil’s silica is more environment friendly material as it requires lesser energy as compared to the conventional silica production methods, and uses a waste as base material for silica. Brisil produces Highly Dispersible Silica and Conventional Silica for Tires Application.
Highly Dispersible Silica for Tires –
Highly Dispersible Silica is used in tires due its better dispersibility making it better reinforcing filler in tires. Good dispersion allows a greater filler contact area and a better homogeneity of the filler distribution within the compound. It also improves abrasive resistance and toughness of the tires due its abrasive nature and tensile strength.
Globally, all major tire companies are looking to increase silica content in tires to improve the tire performance and reduce carbon black content. Brisil’s Highly Dispersible Silica is best suitable for energy efficient green tires.
The highly dispersible silica in tires results in
- Improved Process-ability.
- Better Tensile Strength.
- Improved Tear Resistance.
- Better Abrasion Resistance.
- Better Hardness.
The major advantages of using Highly Dispersible Silica in tires are –
- Improvement in mileage due to improved rolling resistance.
- Improved safety due to better wet grip.
- Reduced Green House Gas Emission.
- Abrasion Resistance Improvement.
- Reduction in carbon black consumption.
Brisil has worked closely with some of the biggest tire companies in the world to develop most advanced highly dispersible silica.
Conventional Silica for Tires
Brisil produces conventional precipitated silica for the tire applications. Brisil has wide range of specification for tires application, producing different grades for different type of tires.
Addition of Brisil’s Silica has the following advantages for tires:
- Improve wet traction, rolling resistances, and fuel efficiency.
- Improves wearing resistance and tensile Strength of tire treads
- Better road handling and winter performance.
- Better abrasion resistance.
- Better dynamic properties.
- Good abrasion.
- Improves overall tire performance.
Brisil offers micropearl and powder form of the silica for the tire application. Kindly contact us to know more about the specification of silica suitable for the application, and to request samples.
Industrial Rubber Products
Brisil’s green precipitated silica is used as a reinforcing agent in natural and synthetic rubber and products made from rubbers. This silica has application in belts, conveyer belts, gasket & seals, rice rollers and similar applications. The silica particles form physical bonds with the rubber molecule chain to strengthen the vulcanized compound.
Brisil’s green silica is added in the rubber products to -
- Improves abrasion resistance and toughness.
- Improves tear resistance and tensile strength and reinforcing strength.
- It provides longevity and durability.
- Enhanced resistance to heat build-up
- Improved color retention and/or translucence
Highly Dispersible Silica For Industrial Rubber Products
- Excellent Metal Bonding And High Tear Resistance for Rubber parts for damping and vibration applications like Engine Mounts
- High stiff ness, lower abrasion, higher tear resistance and long durability for Conveyer Belts.
- Higher Stiffness combined with longer elongation and optimized tear resistance for Gaskets & Seals requiring metal rubber bond & withstanding high load
Brisil offers powder, granular form of silica for the application. Kindly contact us to learn about the best suitable silica grades for your application and to request a sample.
Footwear
- It provides longer life and durability.
- Improves abrasion resistance, tear resistance and stiffness.
- Better color effect for colored and semi-transparent soles
Brisil offer powder & granular form of precipitated silica for footwear application. Kindly contact us to know more about best suitable grades for the application.
Food Products
Brisil’s green precipitated silica used in all type of powder like food products such as salts, sugar, spices, soup powders, milk powders to prevent the caking and induce the flow properties in the product. Brisil’s precipitated silica products are odorless, colorless, inert and highly absorptive materials. Due to its fine particle size distribution and smaller particle size it used as flow inducing agent. Adding Brisil’s silica in the food products improves the food product quality by- Imparting uniformity to irregularly shaped particles and inducing flowability.
- Reduction in ambient moisture content by absorbing free moisture
- Prevents caking and agglomeration of the particles.
Brisil offers different grades of silica for application in the food product. Please contact us to know more appoint the product specs, and request a sample.
Toothpaste/Oral care
Precipitated silica used as an abrasive agent in toothpastes due its abrasive nature. Low level of abrasion is sufficient for the efficient cleaning/polishing of the teeth. Abrasion is related to the morphology of the material. It also acts as thickening agent in the toothpaste and it also inert in nature. Addition of silica in the dental products has benefits such as:- Better cleaning of the teeth while with very less dosage of silica in the product
- Improved color retention.
Brisil offers different grades of silica for application in the oral care products. Please contact us to know more appoint the product specs, and request a sample.
Paints, Coatings & Inks
Precipitated silica has been used by Paints, Coating and Ink industry due to various performance related advantages caused by silica. Smaller particle size of silica results in higher flow ability which improves paints, coating & inks’ anti settling properties. Its oil absorption properties prevent products spreading ability. Silica acts as a flattening agent that reduces the gloss of paints, varnishes, lacquers and other finishes. It also works as thickening agent that is a rheology modifiers and anti-sag/suspension agent for a broad range of plastisols, inks, adhesives, caulks, and sealants. Key reasons of using silica in pains, coatings and inks are- Prevents spreading
- Induces anti settling behavior
- Improves dispersion
- lowers viscosity and improves stir-in capability
Brisil provides different grades of green silica to meet the requirement of the Paint & coatings industry. Kindly contact us know more about the suitable products and request a sample.
Plastics
Brisil’s precipitated silica is used as a thickening, thixotropic and suspending agents in liquid systems, paste emulsion and plastics etc. It Improves flow characteristics of powder and insulating properties to PVC compounds for high voltage cables. It also acts as an anti blocking agent for cellulose hydrate and plastic films. Advantages:- Improves extraction properties and better surface finish.
- Prevents surface sticking of Plastic Films
- Easy processability
- Better gloss and appearance.
