Perfectly Spherical, Fine Particles of Silica: SEAHOSTAR™
- Main Applications
Resin fillers, Anti-blocking agents, Fillers for liquid crystal sealing agents
- Applications
- Functions
Basic Information
SEAHOSTAR™ KE are spherical fine particles of silica with an average particle diameter that is controlled in the 0.1 – 2.5 μm range, and a sharp particle size distribution. Nippon Shokubai offers four types of SEAHOSTAR™ KE: EG (ethylene glycol) dispersion (KE-E), Water dispersion (KE-W), Powder (KE-P), and High purity powder (KE-S). We can also provide KE-S as a surface-treated and various functional groups-imparting type to meet the user’s requirements and preferences.
Features and Properties
- Fine sharp particle and narrow particle size distribution
- Particle size adjustable from 0.1 – 2.5μm
- High purity, free from impurities
- Non-crystalline
- Exist as primary particles with few secondary aggregates
Examples of Applications
- Resin fillers
- Anti-blocking agents
- Fillers for liquid crystal sealing agents
