AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Resifa™ M.S. (Microsphere) Gel™

Fine Silica Products are resin additives that enhance the surface smoothness and dispersability of the media into which they are added. Their fine silica particles have a lower coefficient of friction than titanium dioxide and other popular fillers. On a molecular level, these particles are perfectly spherical in shape and move more freely to provide a superior tactile feel. Fine silica products provide catalyst support for cosmetics, film and synthetic leather, serve as a matting agent for paints, and act as filler for coated printing papers. We offer five grades of fine silica products: Sunspera™, Solesphere™, Sunlovely™, M.S. GEL™, and Silica Gel. Sunspera, introduced at the 2015 InformEx Show, feature precisely designed pore structure, spherical shapes and size distribution. Our fine silica products are available in mean particle diameters from 1.8 µm to 200 µm and with oil absorption capacities from 30 ml/100 g to 400 ml/100 g to suit any application. Surface areas are available from 40-800 M2/g. The ability to select the sphere size, pore size and spherical structure of fine silica products makes it possible to provide long-lasting, physicochemical-spec ific characteristics to specific media.
