SIDISTAR® is a spherically-shaped amorphous silicon dioxide, which has been specifically designed for polymer applications. Strict quality-controlled production assures a material with an average primary particle size of 150 nm. The nature of the material allows excellent dispersion down into primary particles in the polymer matrix.
Depending on the polymer used, SIDISTAR® offers several advantages, which are further explained in our application notes.
