Performance Benefits in Epoxy and Thermoset Applications
In epoxy and thermoset systems, Tulco applies Advanced Surface Treated Silicas developed through Application Driven Additive Development to provide controlled rheology and precise viscosity management. By modifying flow behavior under both shear and static conditions, Tulco products reduce sagging, settling, and phase separation while maintaining smooth application and uniform film build.
In addition to rheology control, Tulco silica additives improve suspension stability by keeping fillers, pigments, and functional solids evenly dispersed throughout the formulation. This results in improved shelf stability, reduced settling during storage, and more predictable performance during processing and application.
After cure, epoxy and thermoset systems formulated with Tulco treated silicas benefit from enhanced mechanical performance. Improvements in toughness, adhesion, and abrasion resistance support long term durability in applications where structural integrity and surface performance are critical.
Tulco treated silicas are used across a broad range of epoxy and thermoset applications, including structural adhesives, industrial and protective coatings, flooring systems, composite materials, and specialty molded or cast components. Their compatibility with multiple resin chemistries and formulation approaches allows for flexible integration into both standard products and highly application specific designs.
The Tailored Solution
Collaboration is central to how Tulco works with customers. When existing products do not fully meet application requirements, Tulco offers custom treated silica development to address specific performance goals in epoxy and thermoset applications. Tulco also provides manufacturing and packaging support for customers who are out of internal capacity, offering dependable production and flexible packaging solutions to support consistent supply.
Technical data sheets and safety documentation are available to support formulation development, regulatory compliance, and production scale up. Tulco’s technical team works closely with customers to provide product selection guidance and application support throughout the development process.
