PPG Silica Products for Industrial Rubber Goods

PPG offers a wide variety of precipitated silica products that are specifically designed for the industrial rubber industry. Our Hi-Sil™, Silene™ and Ciptane™ silicas are reinforcing synthetic, hydrophilic, and amorphous silica products that provide strength and durability in various types of applications.

PPG Silica Products are used to:

Improve heat resistance and tear strength that extend fatigue life in industrial belts and hoses
Enhance adhesion in wire and fabric coat compounds
Allow for rapid and easy processing to produce smooth finished surfaces in molded and extruded products.

Our products are non-black reinforcing fillers designed for white and colored compounding and can be used as either the sole reinforcing filler or in combination with carbon black. In specialty elastomers, Hi-Sil silicas maintain product integrity in extreme long-term heat.

Hi-Sil, Silene and Ciptane silicas are available in powder, pellet, granule, and micro-granular forms to fit your manufacturing requirements. They may be selected in various particle sizes and/or with a mercapto-silane treatment to yield the optimum balance between reinforcing and processing properties.

Application areas for precipitated silica include:

Pneumatic tires
Footwear and soling
Elastic thread
Rubber roofing and pond liners
Silicone key pads
