Fumed silica is a specialized, high-price, niche product, and its main polymer use is as a reinforcing filler for silicone elastomers. Like the precipitated products, it is amorphous and with a very small particle size. But it is less aggregated and has a more inert surface. This surface has a lower hydroxyl content and much less adsorbed water.
