Hydrophilic fumed silica termed has the most demand in the market.

Fumed silica is also known as the pyrogenic silica because it is mainly produced through the help of a flame, consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chainlike, three-dimensional secondary particles which then agglomerate into tertiary particles. It is a kind of specialty silica that includes the microscopic droplets of the unstructured silica. The resulting powder has an extremely low bulk density and high surface area. Its three-dimensional structure results in viscosity-increasing, thixotropic behavior when used as a thickener or reinforcing filler.

Due to its thixotropic behaviors and rheological properties, the paint and coating industry makes higher utilization of the pyrogenic silica for controlling the growth of corrosion and rust. The fumed silica is used in various applications including coatings, adhesives, sealants, inks, deformers, cosmetics, toner, food additives, among others. Also, because of the cost-effective nature of the fumed silica, it is highly preferred in the major end-user industries.

Uses of Fumed Silica:

The versatility of fumed silica is related to its wide range of surface areas and aggregate structure, both of which lead to unique performance benefits, including:

Anti-settling, thickening and sag resistance
Scratch and abrasion resistance
Free-flow and anti-caking
Corrosion resistance
Enhanced absorbency
Reinforcement

The Global Fumed Silica market is anticipated to reach the value of USD 1662.0 million by the year 2023 growing at a CAGR of 7.80% during the forecast period 2017-2023.
