ຊິລິໂຄນ Hydrophilic: Produced without surface treatment. Naturally attracts water. Ideal for polar systems (e.g., water-based coatings, ກາວ, sealants).
ຊິລິໂຄນໄຮໂດຼລິກ: Treated with silanes or organosilanes to repel water. Better compatibility with non-polar systems like oils, silicone, resins, and waxes.
Production & Surface Treatment
- Base product: Fumed or Precipitated Silica
- Hydrophobic treatment methods: Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), polydimysloxane (Pdms), Trimethylsilyl
- Particle surface becomes water-repellent, oil-compatible, and stable in hydrophobic environments
