SYLYSIA® 970
Fuji Silysia Chemical USA Ltd. · SYLYSIA®
SYLYSIA® 970 is a 9.0 µm average particle size, non-treated, hydrated amorphous silica powder developed as part of the SY900 series, a 50% hydrated variant of the SY300 series. It is designed for efficient matting, reduced dusting, and improved compatibility in waterborne and high-polarity formulations. SYLYSIA® 970 is used in coatings, inks, and adhesives where moisture affinity and ease of dispersion are required to achieve consistent matting and stability.
