FMSIL (Precipitated Silica) by 20 Microns Limited is a high-purity form of silica produced through a controlled chemical precipitation process involving sodium silicate and mineral acids under specific temperature and pressure conditions.
Known for its exceptional matting properties in paints and coatings, FMSIL offers enhanced surface appearance and texture. The product’s performance depends on various factors such as particle size, morphology, and distribution, ensuring consistency and high-quality finishes.

One of the key advantages of using precipitated silica in paint production is its ability to improve quality and consistency.
FMSIL offers excellent thixotropic properties, allowing better viscosity control and preventing settling or separation. This results in a smooth, uniform application and a high- quality matte finish.
Additionally, FMSIL enhances reinforcement and durability, helping paints resist wear, tear, and environmental stress over time.
Our FMSIL Series offers multiple grades suitable for different coating requirements:
Each grade is tailored to deliver controlled reduction in gloss and optimal matting performance for industrial coatings.
The above formulations are for general guidance only and should not be used as final specifications. Paint performance may vary based on application and environment. Users are advised to conduct lab-scale testing to determine the optimal dosage and performance results for their specific requirements.
