PRECIPITATED SILICA
Precipitated Silica has become key filler for the tire industry due to its properties and performance. Precipitated silica in tire improves physical & dynamic properties such as tensile strength, abrasion resistance, tear resistance, wet grip etc.
Silica is perceived by the tire industry as a material which can address the environment challenges associated with the tire production, and can replace carbon black in the tires. PPsilica is more environment friendly material as it requires lesser energy as compared to the conventional silica production methods, and uses a waste as base material for silica. Brisil produces Highly Dispersible Silica and Conventional Silica for Tires Application.
Highly Dispersible Silica for Tires –
Highly Dispersible Silica is used in tires due its better dispersibility making it better reinforcing filler in tires. Good dispersion allows a greater filler contact area and a better homogeneity of the filler distribution within the compound. It also improves abrasive resistance and toughness of the tires due its abrasive nature and tensile strength.
Globally, all major tire companies are looking to increase silica content in tires to improve the tire performance and reduce carbon black content. We Have Highly Dispersible Silica is best suitable for energy efficient green tires. The highly dispersible silica in tires results in
- Improved Process-ability.

Industrial Rubber Products:
Our precipitated silica is used as a reinforcing agent in natural and synthetic rubber and products made from rubbers. This silica has application in belts, conveyer belts, gasket & seals, rice rollers and similar applications. The silica particles form physical bonds with the rubber molecule chain to strengthen the vulcanized compound.
PP silica is added in the rubber products to -- Improves abrasion resistance and toughness.
- Improves tear resistance and tensile strength and reinforcing strength.
- It provides longevity and durability.
- Enhanced resistance to heat build-up
- Improved color retention and/or translucence
Highly Dispersible Silica For Industrial Rubber Products:
PP silica can be used for industrial rubber products for better performance & quality of the end product, and improved process ability.
- Excellent Metal Bonding And High Tear Resistance for Rubber parts for damping and vibration applications like Engine Mounts
- High stiff ness, lower abrasion, higher tear resistance and long durability for Conveyer Belts.
- Higher Stiffness combined with longer elongation and optimized tear resistance for Gaskets & Seals requiring metal rubber bond & withstanding high load
We offer powder, granular form of silica for the application. Kindly contact us to learn about the best suitable silica grades for your application and to request a sample.
Footwear
We offers various grades of precipitated silica for footwear application. Enhances various properties in footwear such as abrasion resistance, durability and stiffness. Due to fine particle size, it will easily disperse in the matrix improving it modulus and resilience resulting in better flexibility & comfort. The major advantages of using PP silica in footwear are:
- It provides longer life and durability.
- Improves abrasion resistance, tear resistance and stiffness.
- Better color effect for colored and semi-transparent soles
We offer powder & granular form of precipitated silica for footwear application. Kindly contact us to know more about best suitable grades for the application.
Food Products
precipitated silica used in all type of powder like food products such as salts, sugar, spices, soup powders, milk powders to prevent the caking and induce the flow properties in the product. precipitated silica products are odorless, colorless, inert and highly absorptive materials. Due to its fine particle size distribution and smaller particle size it used as flow inducing agent. Adding silica in the food products improves the food product quality by
- Imparting uniformity to irregularly shaped particles and inducing flowability.
- Reduction in ambient moisture content by absorbing free moisture
- Prevents caking and agglomeration of the particles.
We offers different grades of silica for application in the food product. Please contact us to know more appoint the product specs, and request a sample.
Toothpaste/Oral care
Precipitated silica used as an abrasive agent in toothpastes due its abrasive nature. Low level of abrasion is sufficient for the efficient cleaning/polishing of the teeth. Abrasion is related to the morphology of the material. It also acts as thickening agent in the toothpaste and it also inert in nature. Addition of silica in the dental products has benefits such as:
We offers different grades of silica for application in the oral care products. Please contact us to know more appoint the product specs, and request a sample.
Paints, Coatings & Inks
Precipitated silica has been used by Paints, Coating and Ink industry due to various performance related advantages caused by silica. Smaller particle size of silica results in higher flow ability which improves paints, coating & inks’ anti settling properties. Its oil absorption properties prevent products spreading ability. Silica acts as a flattening agent that reduces the gloss of paints, varnishes, lacquers and other finishes. It also works as thickening agent that is a rheology modifiers and anti-sag/suspension agent for a broad range of plastisols, inks, adhesives, caulks, and sealants. Key reasons of using silica in pains, coatings and inks are
- Prevents spreading
- Induces anti settling behavior
- Improves dispersion
- lowers viscosity and improves stir-in capability
We provides different grades of green silica to meet the requirement of the Paint & coatings industry. Kindly contact us know more about the suitable products and request a sample.
Plastics
WE precipitated silica is used as a thickening, thixotropic and suspending agents in liquid systems, paste emulsion and plastics etc. It Improves flow characteristics of powder and insulating properties to PVC compounds for high voltage cables. It also acts as an anti blocking agent for cellulose hydrate and plastic films.
Advantages:
- Improves extraction properties and better surface finish.
- Prevents surface sticking of Plastic Films
- Easy processability
- Better gloss and appearance.
Pesticide Grade
Silica is most suitable for pesticides, insecticides & fungicides due to their extremely fine particles size and large surface area which account their use as an absorbent carrier and flow conditioner of solids and viscosity control of liquids. It has higher absorption, easier wetting, better compatibility with most toxicants and better chemical stability even after extended storage under tropical condition.
Fire Extinguishing Powders :
precipitated silica ensures extremely good humidity protection due to its hygroscopic nature, so extinguishers remain fully operational even after extended storage.
Packing:
The Standard Packing is 25 Kg HDPE Woven Bags with LDPE Liner.These can also be supplied in 20 Kg Paper Bags/Palletized cargo for export markets.
