TAFOSIL<sup>&reg;</sup>

Tafosil® is a highly dispersible precipitated silica with low to high surface area and narrow particle size distribution, developed for rubber products to improve physical and mechanical properties of abrasion, tear, tensility, etc. and provide a longer product life.

  • Superior dispersion

    Ensures high polymer to filler interaction.

  • Improved mechanical properties

    Tafosil offer better re-inforcement than conventional silica.

  • Cost reduction and productivity increase

    Faster curing cycle than conventional silica.

  • Improved durability

    Improved abrasion resistance, heat resistance and tear strength.

  • Increased adhesion between surfaces

    Increases layer-to-layer, rubber-to-fabric adhesion.

  • Production efficiency

    Reduced compound moony, faster mixing, extrusion, calendering, moulding, and less electrical power consumption.

  • Reduced scrap generation

    High degree of mould filling reduces scrap generation.

  • Better aesthetics provided

    Tafosil ensures that shoe soles do not leave floor marks.

Silica is an essential white filler that imparts reinforcement in rubber compounds. However, conventional silica offers limited dispersion inside the rubber matrix due to high filler-filler interactions. This leads to uneven filler distribution throughout the polymer matrix. To overcome this issue, Tata Chemicals Ltd. has developed TAFOSIL® grades with functional modification of silica surface chemistry. TAFOSIL® is highly dispersible precipitated silica with low to high surface area and narrow particle size distribution, essentially developed for rubber products to improve physical & mechanical properties like abrasion, tear, tensile etc. and provides longer product life.

TAFOSIL® is a functional silica that offers narrow particle size distribution and higher compound surface smoothness. This combination has been developed for rubber products to impart stronger reinforcement, thus improving its overall performance and product life.

  • Rubber manufacturing (durability improvement)

    TAFOSIL® is utilised in rubber goods such as rice rolls, rubber hoses, insulation mats, cots and aprons, shoe soles, V-belts and spindle tapes. Its superior dispersion, abrasion resistance, tear strength and mechanical properties make it an ideal compound for manufacturing rubber products.

  • Tysil®

    Specialty Silica is manufactured in various grades like Highly Dispersible, Precipitated, and Water Dispersible. It is available in powder & granules for diverse industry needs.
