AEROSIL® R 974

AEROSIL® R 974 is a fumed silica powder that offers an alternative technology to stabilize water/oil emulsions. Due to the special surface modification, there are both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups on the surface of AEROSIL® R 974, which enables AEROSIL® R 974 to enrich at water and oil interfaces and thereby stabilize water droplets in a continuous oil phase by the Pickering effect. AEROSIL® R 974 is PCPC-listed as 'Silica dimethyl silylate'. The product is also very suitable for rheology control as well as an oil thickener.
