Role of Nano Silica as an Anti-Caking Agent in the Polymer Industry (NTS 575)

Anti-caking refers to substances that prevent particles of a material from sticking together and forming clumps. In the polymer industry, nano silica acts as a very effective anti-caking agent, imparting valuable properties to polymer products.

Role of Nano Silica as an Anti-Caking Agent including

• Creating a Protective Layer: Nano silica particles create a thin layer on the surface of polymer particles, preventing direct contact between them.
• Reducing Adhesive Forces: This thin layer reduces the adhesive forces between particles and prevents clump formation.

Increasing Flowability: Nano silica increases the flowability of polymer powders, making mixing and molding processes easier.
