Fumed Silica, also known as Pyrogenic Silica, consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chainlike, three-dimensional secondary particles. The powder has very low bulk density and large surface area. It is highly versatile and is used in a variety of applications including: 1. Defoamers & Antifoams Defoamers & Antifoams usually contain a suspension of hydro-phobic or hydrophilic precipitated silica in mineral oil, soy-bean oil or in silicone oil. However, precipitated silica has a tendency to settle, which can lead to other issues. Adding fumed silica either completely prevents or significantly reduces this effect. In many defoamers, fumed silica is used as the active silica component instead of precipitated silica. 2. Adsorbent Due to its high specific surface area, fumed silica is able to adsorb gaseous, liquid or solid materials. The substance will preferably adsorb those materials, which are capable of forming hydrogen bond li...

Temperature data loggers are equipment that are used to monitor shipments in a supply chain and to gather temperature data from diverse field conditions. The data loggers are equipped with the best in class sensors which provide results with accuracy levels that rivals that of many higher priced, computer-based data acquisition systems. However, not all data loggers are created equal, and with are so many choices available today, it can be challenging to find the right one for your needs. Here are 5 things you need to know to choose the right temperature data logger for you: 1. Know Your Accuracy Requirements You should know beforehand how accurate you want the data logger to be, no matter what you need to measure. For example, an air conditioner might require +/-1 ⁰ C accuracy whereas monitoring conditions in a research lab require far greater accuracy. Accuracy can vary depending on the type of the data logger, a good understanding of specific accuracy requirements...
