FMSIL Series

FMSIL Series – Experience The Excellence Of Transparency With Matting Effect

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.

Key Benefits

• Excellent Matting Effect for enhanced visual appeal
• Highly Efficient Performance with lower dosage requirement
• Superior Wet Film Clarity ensuring transparency and even finish
• Controlled Viscosity providing smooth application
• Effective Particle Size Distribution for consistent results
• Prevents Sedimentation and settling in paint systems

Why Choose FMSIL from 20 Microns?

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.
