This material is also referred to as colloidal or fumed silica, and is an excellent thixotropic agent which is used to control the viscosity of mixed epoxy systems. Silica can be used alone for a very smooth, non-sagging, high strength mixture or combined with fillers or fibers to make them non-sagging. A 5-quart quantity of Silica Thickener when combined with 1 gallon of mixed epoxy/hardener, will produce about 1.75 gallons of a non-sagging firm paste. Alternatively use Silvertip Gel Magic for ease-of-use.
- Premium Epoxy Thickener: Also referred to as colloidal or hydrophilic fumed silica, our silica thickener is an excellent thixotropic agent designed to work as an epoxy resin thickener
- Measure And Mixing: Mix the appropriate amount of resin, Part A, and hardener, Part B, then add silica thickener in increments, and mix thoroughly, stirring from the bottom to the top until the desired consistency is reached
- Features: Silica thickener easily mixes into epoxy resin systems
- Consistency: Fumed silica powder can be used alone to create a very smooth, non-sagging, high-strength epoxy mixture, but can also be combined with other fillers or fibers to prevent sagging
- Cleanup: Clean hands, exposed skin, and work surfaces with mild soap and water
