Adhesives and Sealants
Tulco Inc develops surface modified precipitated silica additives designed to enhance performance, stability, and application control in adhesive and sealant formulations. With more than forty years of experience in silica surface modification, Tulco supports formulators working with systems where controlled rheology, consistent dispersion, and long term reliability are essential.
Tulco treated precipitated silicas are engineered to perform across a wide range of adhesive and sealant systems, including solvent based, water based, and high solids formulations. By modifying silica surface chemistry, Tulco products provide controlled viscosity and thixotropic behavior that maintain application consistency while preventing sagging, settling, and separation. This balance supports smooth dispensing, predictable flow, and uniform bond line formation across a variety of application methods.

Performance Benefits in Adhesive and Sealant Applications
In adhesive and sealant systems, Tulco applies Advanced Surface Treated Silicas developed through Application Driven Additive Development to improve suspension stability and formulation control. These innovations help maintain even distribution of fillers, pigments, and functional components throughout the system, resulting in improved shelf stability, reduced settling during storage, and more consistent performance at the point of use.
Once cured, adhesive and sealant formulations containing Tulco treated silicas benefit from enhanced mechanical properties. Improved toughness, adhesion, and resistance to deformation contribute to long term bond integrity and durability under mechanical stress or environmental exposure, supporting performance in both structural and non structural applications.
Tulco treated silicas are used across a wide range of adhesive and sealant applications, including construction adhesives, industrial bonding systems, specialty sealants, and formulation specific designs where controlled flow and performance are required. Their compatibility with multiple resin chemistries and formulation approaches allows for flexible integration into both standard products and highly application specific solutions.
The Tailored Solution
Tulco works closely with customers to support formulation development and product selection for adhesive and sealant systems.
When existing products do not fully meet application requirements, Tulco offers custom treated silica development to address specific performance objectives. For customers facing internal capacity limitations, Tulco also provides manufacturing and packaging support, offering reliable production and flexible packaging options to maintain consistent supply.
Technical data sheets and safety documentation are available to support product evaluation, regulatory compliance, and production scale up. Tulco’s technical team provides formulation guidance and application support throughout the development process, helping ensure dependable performance in real world adhesive and sealant applications.
