Construction and Materials
Tulco Inc develops surface modified precipitated silica additives for use in construction material formulations where performance, durability, and consistency are essential. With more than forty years of experience in silica surface modification, Tulco supports construction related applications that demand reliable processing behavior and long term material stability.
Tulco treated precipitated silicas are engineered to enhance rheology control, stability, and performance across a wide range of construction materials. By modifying silica surface chemistry, Tulco products help manage viscosity and flow characteristics during mixing, application, and curing. This contributes to improved workability, reduced segregation, and more uniform material behavior across varying environmental and job site conditions.

Performance Benefits in Adhesive and Sealant Applications
In construction material formulations, Tulco applies Advanced Surface Treated Silicas developed through Application Driven Additive Development to support suspension stability and consistent material performance. Even distribution of fillers and functional components helps reduce settling during storage, improves consistency during application, and supports predictable performance in finished materials. These characteristics are especially important in products that must perform reliably across large scale production, transport, and on site application.
Once cured or set, construction materials formulated with Tulco treated silicas benefit from enhanced mechanical performance and durability. Improvements in toughness, adhesion, and resistance to wear support long term performance in applications exposed to mechanical stress, moisture, and environmental conditions commonly encountered in construction environments.
Tulco treated silicas are used in a wide range of construction material applications, including cementitious systems, coatings, sealants, adhesives, and specialty compounds used in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Their compatibility with multiple formulation approaches allows for flexible integration into both standard products and highly application specific designs.
The Tailored Solution
Tulco works closely with customers to support formulation development and product selection for construction material applications. When standard products do not meet performance requirements, Tulco offers custom treated silica development to address specific formulation goals.
Tulco also provides manufacturing and packaging support for customers facing internal capacity limitations, offering reliable production and flexible packaging options to support 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 to help ensure dependable performance in real world construction material applications.
