SYLYSIA® 320
Fuji Silysia Chemical USA Ltd. · SYLYSIA®
SYLYSIA® 320 is a 3.2 µm average particle size, non-treated, amorphous silica powder used as a matting agent, anti-blocking additive, and thickening agent. It offers multifunctional performance by providing gloss control, enhanced adhesion, and viscosity stabilization. SYLYSIA® 320 is particularly suited for coatings, inks, adhesives, plastics, paper, and personal care applications due to its high pore volume, high oil absorption, and consistent particle size distribution that support dispersion and stability across diverse formulations.
- High porosity
- High chemical purity
- Compatible with multiple substrates
- Effective matting agent
- Enhanced surface properties
- Excellent adhesion
- Excellent pigment suspension
- Free flowing
- High thickening efficiency
