ACG Chemicals Europe Fine Silica Products
Fine silica products are designed to complement any application where gentle tactile feel is paramount.
Fine silica particles have a lower coefficient of friction than titanium dioxide and other popular fillers. Being perfectly spherical in shape, fine silica particles are able to offer a high degree of flexibility. When combined with resin, fine silica also offers greater surface smoothness and dispersibility. Fine silica products have found widespread use from cosmetics, synthetic leather, catalyst support, and as a matting agent for paints.
The principal advantage of RESIFA™ M.S. GEL, RESIFA™ SUNSPHERE and RESIFA™ SUNSPERA is that they enable control over sphere size and pore size of the spherical structure, making it possible to provide long lasting physicochemical characteristics.

RESIFA™ M.S. GEL (microspherical gel) is a silica-based high-purity spherical gel. When formed in a perfectly spherical shape, RESIFA™ M.S. GEL enables higher loading capacity with lower back pressure and good separation performance.
RESIFA™ M.S. GEL is used widely in pharmaceutical, biochemistry and agrichemical fields in high performance liquid chromatography packing to separate specified substances. It is also used as a release carrier for cosmetics and fragrances.
Consisting of freely rolling, spherical particles of micro-porous silica (amorphous silicon dioxide), RESIFA™ SUNSPHERE is soft and smooth to the touch. In addition, its multiporous composition maintains an excellent capacity for absorption. Derived from silica, RESIFA™ SUNSPHERE showcases excellent heat resistance properties as well as being white, odourless, chemically stable, and so harmless through human contact.
Uses include cosmetics and toiletries, to industrial applications such as a matting agent for paints, and as a filler for coated printing paper. RESIFA™ SUNSPHERE is also used as a catalyst support carrier and in synthetic leather.
RESIFA™ SUNSPERA is used as a catalyst support in the manufacture of polyethylene and polypropylene, playing a more important role than simply that of a carrier for a catalyst compound. The properties of the silica gel have a significant effect on both the polymerisation process and the properties of the finished polymer.
Using RESIFA™ SUNSPERA gives improved finished polymer resin by increasing the bulk density and also ensures enhanced productivity.
