ULTRASIL® 880 has medium reinforcing potential. It imparts excellent compression set and extrusion properties to rubber compounds. ULTRASIL® 880 thus allows the production of profiles with low die swell and very smooth surfaces. Even EPDM compounds with extremely high filler loading can still easily be processed. In white compounds ULTRASIL® 880 can be used as a partial replacement for titanium dioxide. Sulfur cure is only marginally affected. Application fields are: Mechanical rubber goods.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Information
Our silica products are inert and extremely stable chemically. However, due to their high specific surface area, they can absorb moisture and volatile organic compounds from the surrounding atmosphere. Therefore, we recommend storing the products in sealed containers in a dry, cool place, and removed from volatile organic substances. Even if a product is stored under these conditions, after a longer period it can still pick up ambient moisture over time, which could lead to its exceeding the specified moisture content. For this reason, our recommended use-by date is 24 months after date of manufacture. Product more than 24 months old should be tested for moisture content before use in order to make certain that it is still suitable for the intended application.
