HS-200 Fumed Silica
High-purity HS-200 Fumed Silica (10kg) is a professional-grade thickening agent designed to increase the viscosity and thixotropy of resins, gelcoats, and paints. Essential for creating non-sagging mixtures, structural adhesives, and high-stability fillers in the marine and composite industries.
HS-200 Fumed Silica is an ultra-fine, high-surface-area silica powder used as a universal thixotropic agent. This 10kg industrial format is designed for large-scale production, shipyards, and professional workshops.
When added to liquid polyester, epoxy, or vinylester resins, HS-200 creates a sophisticated rheological structure. This allows the resin to remain fluid while being stirred or applied (shear-thinning) but “lock” into place once the movement stops, preventing drips and sagging on vertical or overhead surfaces. It also acts as a powerful anti-settling agent for pigments and fillers, ensuring a homogeneous mixture throughout the curing process.
✔ Maximum Thixotropy → Prevents resin runoff and sagging on vertical surfaces.
✔ High Purity (99.8%+) → Does not alter the chemical properties or color of the base resin.
✔ Structural Reinforcement → Improves the mechanical strength and hardness of the final composite.
✔ Anti-Settling Properties → Keeps pigments and other fillers suspended for a uniform finish.
✔ Excellent Dispersibility → Blends easily into liquid systems with standard mixing equipment.
Type: Hydrophilic Fumed Silica
Grade: HS-200
Specific Surface Area (BET): 200 ± 20 m²/g
Appearance: Ultra-fine, lightweight white powder
Format: 10 kg Industrial Bag
Compatibility: Epoxy, Polyester, Vinylester resins, Gelcoats, and Enamels.
🔹 Application Instructions
Safety First: This powder is extremely light and volatile. Always wear a dust mask (P2/P3) and work in a draft-free area.
Mix your resin and catalyst/hardener first.
Gradually add HS-200 while stirring slowly to avoid creating a dust cloud.
Recommended Dosage: – Anti-settling/Slight thickening: 0.5% – 1.0% by weight.
Thixotropic/Non-sag: 2.0% – 3.0% by weight.
Structural Adhesives: Up to 5% or more until the desired “peanut butter” consistency is reached.
👉 Pro Tip: For a superior fairing compound, combine HS-200 with Microcel (Glass Microballoons). The silica provides the anti-sag properties, while the microballoons make the mixture lightweight and easy to sand.
Marine Construction: Formulating non-sag gelcoats and structural bonding pastes for hulls and decks.
Structural Adhesives: Creating high-strength glues for fiberglass, wood, and metal.
Industrial Coatings: Improving the flow and stability of high-performance paints and varnishes.
Composites: Adjusting the viscosity of laminating resins for complex vertical molds.
Industrial Bag: 10 kg (Note: Due to its extremely low density, a 10kg bag is very high in volume).
Stable, high-viscosity resin systems that stay exactly where applied, ensuring professional structural bonds and a perfect finish on any surface angle.
“A reliable company, professional-quality products, quantities suitable for DIY projects, prompt phone support, and professional technical advice at reasonable prices—finally, a go-to place! Well done 👍”
Maurizio Riondato
“An excellent salesperson who, above all, knows his stuff—he understands what he’s selling and clearly explains how to use it, providing all the necessary information. Plus, the products are high-quality and offer excellent value for money. The owner and his staff are kind and professional in a way that’s hard to find anywhere else these days.”
