    Automotive    		CAB-O-SIL® TS-530HMDZCAB-O-SIL® TS-530 and TS-5022 fumed silicas are suggested for use as
    a rheology control agents in polar resin systems. Both products help customers obtain the right balance between high sag resistance and good film appearance. TS-530 fumed silica can also be used as a free flow additive in powder coatings when low moisture pickup is desired.

    Hydrophilic Fumed SilicaIndustrial
    Powder    		CAB-O-SIL® EH-5NoneHydrophilic fumed silicas are suggested for use in non-polar
    resin systems, or in formulations where shelf stability is not a major consideration. Higher surface area products are more difficult to disperse, but they deliver greater thickening effect. EH5 fumed silicais highest surface area, LM-150 fumed silica is lowest.
