| Product Category | Primary End Use | Product Name | Treatment Agent | Guidelines |
| Hydrophobic Fumed Silica | Industrial Marine | CAB-O-SIL® TS-710 | PDMS | CAB-O-SIL® TS-720 and TS-710 fumed silicas are suggested for use in highly polar resin systems. PDMS treated products deliver excellent sag resistance and anti-settling performance, while imparting hydrophobicity and mechanical reinforcement. |
| CAB-O-SIL® TS-720 | ||||
| Industrial Coil Automotive Wood | CAB-O-SIL® TS-610 | DiMeDi | CAB-O-SIL® TS-610 fumed silica is suggested for use as a rheology agent in both polar and non-polar resin systems, especially when ease of dispersion is a primary formulation consideration. | |
| Powder Industrial Automotive | CAB-O-SIL® TS-530 | HMDZ | CAB-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. | |
| CAB-O-SIL® TS-5022 | ||||
| Hydrophilic Fumed Silica | Industrial Powder | CAB-O-SIL® EH-5 | None | Hydrophilic 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. |

| Hydrophobic Fumed Silica | 120 | CAB-O-SIL® TS-720 | PDMS | CAB-O-SIL® TS-720 and TS-710 fumed silicas are suggested for use in highly polar resin systems. PDMS treated products deliver excellent sag resistance and anti-settling performance, while imparting hydrophobicity and mechanical reinforcement. |
| 195 | CAB-O-SIL® TS-610 | DiMeDi | Suitable for use in both polar and non-polar oil systems. They provide easier dispersion than other hydrophobic fumed silicas. CAB-O-SIL® TS-622 fumed silica will typically enable improved thickening performance relative to CAB-O-SIL®TS-610 fumed silica | |
| 125 | CAB-O-SIL® TS-622 | |||
| 150 | CAB-O-SIL® TS-382 | OTMS | Very hydrophobic fumed silica that can offer effective thickening in increasingly polar systems. Typically provides good stability and low oil bleed. | |
| Hydrophilic Fumed Silica | 320 | CAB-O-SIL® HS-5 | None | Hydrophilic fumed silica that provide their highest thickening efficiency in non-polar systems. They can be used to make non-melting greases. Additionally, CAB-O-SIL® M-5F and EH-5F fumed silica are designed for food applications and are suitable for use as an ingredient in the manufacture of incidental food contact greases and lubricants. |
