Sunsphere

Beautiful, Regular Spherical Particles Soft and Smooth to Touch.


A Functional Approach to New Sensations…


High-Performance Micro-sphere Fine Silica-- SUNSPHERE


SUNSPHERE has attracted a great deal of attention.

SUNSPHERE spherical micro-porous silica (amorphous silicon dioxide) has been jointly developed by Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. that has accumulated many years of technical expertise in inorganic chemicals, and Dokai Chemical Industries that has the longest history of silica gel production in all Asia.

SUNSPHERE is used for cosmetics, catalyst support, film, synthetic leather, and as a matting agent for paints. Moreover, as a filler for coated printing paper, it adds new unique expressive potential.

-- Characteristics



Perfect Spherical Shape is he Secret of Tactile Appeal

SUNSPHERE consists of spherical particles which do not cohere,
because these particles freely roll over, it provides excellent tactile feeling.

 

A Wide Product Lineup for various Applications

SUNSPHERE is available in grades with mean particle diameters from 3μm to 20μm
and with oil absorption capacities from 30ml/100g to 400ml/100g.

 

High Safety

SUNSPHERE is a white, odorless and chemically stable amorphous silica gel
which has a SiO2 purity of more than 99.0% on the dry basis.

SUNSPHERE contains no crystalline silica.
