 Sunsphere:
|
Sunsphere spherical micro-porous silica, has been jointly developed by Asahi Glass Co.,Ltd. and AGC Si-Tech Co.,Ltd. Sunsphere is safe because it consists of amorphous silica. It contains no crystalline silica because it is derived from sodium silicate. Sunsphere is mainly used for cosmetics in the worldwide market; additionally, as a resin filler and film topcoat in the Industrial market. |

Characteristics of Sunsphere:
• Sunsphere consist of spherical
particles which do not cohere. It provides excellent tactile
feeling
because these particles freely roll.
• Sunsphere is safe because it consist of
amorphous silica.
• Sunsphere is multiporous and provides
excellent moisture absorption capacity.
• High oil absorption capacity grade can
be used as drug carriers.
• Sunsphere has excellent heat resistance
property since it is derived from silica.
• Non-porous series (NP-100, NP-30)
provides quite hardness. On the contrary, High oil
absorption grades (H-33, H-53) are weak against shearing
stress and have a
disintegration property.
• ET series shows excellent water
repellent and good dispersion for oil application, preparing
innovative surface treatment technology.
