SPHERILEX® hydrophilic precipitated silica has a unique spherical particle shape, ideal for use as an active filler in cosmetics, coating systems, or plastics.
SPHERILEX® is hydrophilic precipitated silica which is manufactured in a novel, patented process that leads to spherical and smooth particles. These are less abrasive than irregularly shaped silica particles. The precisely controlled production process leads to consistent particle shape and size, and a high degree of purity. The unique particle design of Evonik’s SPHERILEX® offers numerous benefits in cosmetics, coating systems, or plastics: it provides a high cleaning level at moderate abrasion levels in In toothpaste, creates a smooth skin-feel and mattifying effect in personal care products, and serves as anti-blocking agent in high clarity polymer films.
