As a multi-functional inorganic powder material, silica white, with its excellent properties such as high reinforcement, thickening, dispersibility, and weather resistance, has broken away from the application limitations of traditional additives and deeply penetrated into many core fields of the national economy such as rubber, daily chemicals, coatings, food, and electronics. It not only provides high-performance solutions for downstream industries, but also promotes the technological upgrading of related industries, demonstrating significant economic and social value, and becoming an important basic material supporting the high-quality development of the industry.
The rubber industry is the most core application field of silica white, and its reinforcement performance can significantly improve the quality and service life of rubber products. In tire manufacturing, adding silica white can increase the wear resistance of tires by more than 30%, reduce rolling resistance by 20%, and enhance the aging resistance and tear resistance of tires, reduce fuel consumption, which is in line with the development trend of energy conservation and consumption reduction in the automotive industry. At present, the addition amount of silica white in high-end green tires has reached 20%-30% of the tire weight. In addition, in rubber seals, conveyor belts, shock-absorbing rubber and other products, silica white can improve the elasticity, toughness and weather resistance of products, adapting to the harsh needs of aerospace, automotive, machinery and other fields.
In the daily chemical field, the application value of silica white continues to expand, becoming a core component of high-end daily chemical products. In toothpaste, silica white is used as an abrasive, which is fine and mild, not only can effectively clean plaque and stains on the tooth surface, but also will not damage tooth enamel. At the same time, it has good thickening and dispersing properties, improving the taste and stability of toothpaste; in skin care products and cosmetics, silica white can be used as a filler and thickener, improving the spreadability and skin feel of products, adsorbing oil on the skin surface, and having a certain concealing and sun protection auxiliary effect, which is widely used in face creams, foundations, sunscreens and other products.
In the coating and food fields, the application advantages of silica white are becoming increasingly prominent. In coatings, silica white can improve the weather resistance, stain resistance and adhesion of coatings, prevent coating cracking and chalking, and enhance the hiding power and gloss of coatings, adapting to scenarios such as exterior wall coatings, industrial anti-corrosion coatings, and high-end furniture coatings; in the food industry, silica white, as a food additive, can be used as an anti-caking agent to prevent powdered food from caking, improve product fluidity, and is widely used in milk powder, condiments, coffee powder and other products, which is non-toxic and harmless, complying with food safety standards.
With the upgrading and development of downstream industries, the market demand for silica white continues to rise, its application scenarios continue to expand, and product categories are transforming to high-end and functional. The development of the silica white industry not only promotes the coordinated upgrading of related industries such as organosilicon, rubber, and daily chemicals, but also helps China break the import dependence on high-end silica white, enhance industrial core competitiveness, and its development potential in high-end manufacturing, new energy, biomedicine and other fields will continue to be released in the future.
