Adhesives & Sealants

Our fumed silicas and specialty carbons provide reinforcement, conductivity and rheological properties to a variety of aqueous and solvent-based adhesives formulations.​

We offer a broad portfolio of products for adhesives, including specialty carbons, fumed silica and fumed silica dispersions.  Functioning as rheology modifiers, our products are used in a variety of applications including structural automotive adhesives, wind blades, electronics and room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone. We continuously collaborate with our global customers to deliver excellence in performance, quality and service.


automotive

Our treated fumed silicas offer rheology control in crash durable structural adhesive formulations. They promote high sag and wash-off resistance and allow for stronger bonding of epoxy structural adhesives to lubricated or oily metal substrates. Our specialty carbons enable rheology control, UV-protection and mechanical reinforcement for windshield bonding applications.
