Cabosil

What is Cabosil?

Cabosil is a synthetic, amorphous, untreated fumed silicon dioxide. [1]

Use in Food

Because of its inert nature, it has been used in food such as kethcup as well as in shampoo and some cosmetics. When mixed into liquid resin, Cabosil functions as a resin thickener (flow control agent) and sometimes as an anti-settling, anti-caking agent. [1]
