airborne silica
. . . ifs white magic !
CAB-O-SIL 1) ADD 5.3% Cab-o-sil to turpentine 2) SHAKE AND TIP OVER IMMEDIATELY — gel sets so fast, so firm even a paper clip is locked tightly in suspension 3) SPRAT —gel is sprayable . . . Cab-o-sil is a thixotropic agent too!
....instant gelling agent ...suspending agent...thixotropic agent
As this simple test points out, you will find Cab-o-sil, Cabot's new, super-fine airborne silica, both super-fast and superversatile. Here, for example, it's 3 agents-in-one: gelling agent, suspending agent, and thixotropic agent.
surface area, unprecedented ease of dispersion, freedom from moisture, and unusual optical characteristics... properties which make it one of the most versatile raw materials you can use.
But this kind of "white magic" is just one of many 'miracles' Cab-o-sil is performing these days —and in amazingly minute concentrations. That's because of Cab-o-sil's unique combination of properties, including exceptional purity, enormous
Cab-o-sil can be used in all these ways: • inert substrate or carrier • binding agent m thixotropic agent « dry grinding agent • thickening agent m dispersing agent « gelling agent m buffering agent • insulating agent m free-flow agent • reinforcing agent M tabletting agent
