MIN-U-SIL® 5

GROUND SILICA
CAS# 14808-60-7

CHARACTERISTICS:

MIN-U-SIL® 5 is a natural, fine ground silica with high purity. The consistent pH
and narrow size distribution of MIN-U-SIL® 5 allows very high loading with
minimal effect on viscosity and cure rate. MIN-U-SIL® 5 is inert, and offers
increased shore durometer, reduced shrinkage, improved thermal conductivity,
increased density, improved oil resistance, and high dielectric strength.
