What is Fumed Silica?
Fumed silica, also known as pyrogenic silica, is an ultra-fine, high-purity silicon dioxide produced by flame hydrolysis of silicium tetrachloride gas in an oxygen-hydrogen flame. The result is aggregates of crystalline silica, whose very fine particle size gives it a number of distinctive properties: fumed silica has a large specific surface area, up to 400 m2/g; it is white, fluffy, and non-abrasive; and it is chemically inert and permanent.
