Fumed Silica (also called colloidal silica) is a fluffy white powder with an extremely low density, marketed under trade names such as Aerosol®* and Cab-o-sil®*. With both hydrophobic and hydrophillic grades available, it is widely used as a rheology modifier, imparting highly thixotropic properties at relatively low percentages. It can also provide increased tack, better stability in suspensions and prevents "sagging" and settling of solids in a liquid system. For this reason it is particularly suitable for coatings, inks, adhesives, resins, sealants and greases.
Fumed silica is also used in some pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
