Understanding the Role of Fumed Silica in Adhesives and
Fumed silica is commonly used as a rheology control additive to provide sag resistance anti-settling of fillers and shear-thinning viscosity. The generic term "fumed silica" defines a range of products with different surface chemistries—from hydrophilic to hydrophobic.

Today colloidal silica (fumed silica) is the most common thixotropic agent in epoxy resins. Because of its high surface area to weight ratio formulations generally require only a little fumed silica (1-5 by weight) to achieve thixotropic properties. Other common thixotropic fillers are described below.
