Pigment Concentrates

Silica is a highly active filler for rubber compounds. In green tires, silica-silane systems improve wet grip and reduce rolling resistance. This can save fuel. They also help optimize sidewall, carcass, and innerliner compounds for more safety and comfort. In silicone rubber, special precipitated and fumed silica grades improve processing, transparency, and compound performance. In shoe soles and technical rubber goods, silica boosts abrasion resistance and slip resistance, and it improves tear propagation resistance.

  • Silica acts as a highly active filler in rubber compounds and supports multiple industrial rubber applications.
  • Silica-silane systems in green tires improve wet grip while reducing rolling resistance and fuel consumption.
  • Silica-silane systems help optimize additional tire components, increasing overall tire safety and comfort.
  • Special precipitated and fumed silica grades improve processing, transparency, and performance in silicone rubber compounds.
  • Silica in shoe soles and technical rubber goods improves abrasion resistance, slip resistance, and tear propagation resistance.
