Increasing Demand for Adhesive and Sealant Applications to Boost the Market Growth of Fumed Silica

Fumed silica is used in adhesive and sealant applications to increase the viscosity of the component, boost anti-settling properties during storage, control extrusion properties during application and impart anti-sag properties during cure. The additive can also act as a reinforcing agent to enhance the physical properties of the cured sealant, particularly its tear strength. During the forecast period, the increasing demand for fumed silica is expected to boost market growth. The factors that are expected to obstruct the growth of the market include the substitution of the product by precipitated silica and the production of biogenic fumed silica
