PPG Silica Products for Carrier Applications
Our Hi-Sil™ precipitated silicas offer benefits to you regardless of your end use carrier application. Our products offer consistent and high loadings of active ingredients in agricultural products such as pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides, and are effective in vitamin premixes for animal feed. Hi-Sil™ silicas are also used as free flow agents providing excellent grinding and suspension aids in animal feed supplements. Additionally, our silica products are used as carriers in the rubber industry for dry liquid powder blends of rubber compounding additives, such as plasticizers, bonding agents and antioxidants.
As a carrier for rubber chemicals, Hi-Sil™ silicas provide consistent loading performance and high absorption capability. Our product is also a more cost-effective carrier than mined products such as diatomaceous earth-based calcium silicate. FONT>
