Cabot's CAB-O-SIL® and SpectrAl® TG specialty additives for toner leverage our unique, proprietary technology to create products for toners that provide free-flow, anti-blocking, spacing, and tribocharging.  The CAB-O-SIL and SpectrAl TG products include:

  • tightly controlled particle size fumed silicas for optimum free-flow
  • spherical colloidal silicas for spacing and anti-blocking
  • positive charging fumed and colloidal silicas for positive charging toners
  • strongly negative charging fumed and colloidal silicas for negative charging toners
  • treated aluminas for stable tribocharging in extreme humidity and temperature conditions

Cabot is developing specialty additives for toners to meet the performance challenges presented by increasingly smaller toner particle size, faster printing speed, and low Tg polymers. Our new, innovative CAB-O-SIL™ TG-C series of colloidal silicas and SpectrAl TG-A90 treated fumed alumina help toner formulators meet these challenges.
