Reolosil® DM-10 is a hydrophobic silica prepared by treating a high-purity fumed silica with dimethyldichlorosilane. Its unique properties offer advantages in many applications: silicone rubber, sealants, organic elastomers, paints, inks, coatings, adhesives, and free flow. It is used as a thickening and thixotropic agent in polar liquid systems and as a reinforcing filler for rubbers.
