AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. RESIFA™ SOLESPHERE™ L-51 is a synthetic spherical silica with low cohesiveness and high fluidity. SOLESPHERE™ L-series has a lower specific surface area than the H-series grades. It is suitable for chemical surface modification or coating. Despite the difference in surface area, the L-series products keep the same oil absorption capacity as the H-series. It also offers better slipperiness and spreadability than the H-series. Because of the product's porosity, it has a light scattering effect for cosmetics and acts as a matting agent for coatings. Its particle size distribution is narrow, and hence it can give a single asperity to a thin coating layer.
