- Additional information:
- The particle forming mechanism for each manufacturing process starts with the formation of liquid nuclei that grow to constituent particles that coagulate to aggregates and solidify. Constituent particles are therefore spherical in nature while aggregates (and agglomerates) show a high fractal structure.

- Order:

- External layer:
- hydrophilic
- Description:
- The silica nanoparticles are silane derivatized by covalent bonding (a condensation reaction) of the hydrolysed organosilanes to the silanols on the surface of the particles. This is done at high temperature (50-90C) and at high pH (9-11), making all the glycidoxypropyl silanes open up to diols (the functionality introduced on the surface of the Levasil CC products). For the Levasil CC 141, CC301 and CC401 products, the glycidoxypropyl silane is the only silane. For the Levasil CC503, a 50/50 molar ratio of glycidoxypropyl and propyl silane is used. No purification of the products is made.

-Main features of surface treatment / functionalization process: Introduce the alkyl groups on the

Typical Reaction Formula : ([Silica Surface]-OH)2 + HO-((CH3)2SiO)n-H -> ([Silica Surface]-O-)2-

Detailed information can be found in the “Attached Information” section of the document.
The surface treatment agents are alkoxy- or chlorosilanes, silazanes, and/or siloxanes and have
been generally registered under REACH as relevant. The use as surface treatment agents is desc
ribed in the REACH dossiers and exposure scenarios of specific alkoxysilanes, chlorosilanes,
silazanes and/or siloxanes. The carbon content at the surface of SAS Silanized is less than 20 wt.-

- The particle forming mechanism for each manufacturing process starts with the formation of liquid nuclei that grow to constituent particles that coagulate to aggregates and solidify. Constituent particles are therefore spherical in nature while aggregates (and agglomerates) show a high fractal structure.
The nanostructured material thus consists of aggregates and agglomerates which are composed of fused primary particles. Even after ultrasonic treatment, aggregates were the constituent particle. There was no physical boundary between the fine features within aggregates. The aggregates are composed of primary particles around 20nm (average aspect ratio 1.18).

- Additional information:
- The particle forming mechanism for each manufacturing process starts with the formation of liquid nuclei that grow to constituent particles that coagulate to aggregates and solidify.

- Description:
- In general, Silanized SAS contains no detectable amounts of crystalline silica. X-ray diffraction diagrams of SAS, show only a broad halo, revealing an X-ray amorphous structure. The detection limit for crystallinity by X-ray is in the maximum order of 0.3% by weight or below.

Surface treatments
- Surface treatment name:
- Silane Derivatization
Surface treatment
- External layer:
- hydrophobic
- Description:
- - Main features of the surface treatment/functionalisation process: Coating of silane is a chemical process. In a typical process, alkoxy silanes are added to an aqueous slurry of precipitated silica at elevated temperature and pH. Once introduced a hydrolysis reaction occurs releasing alkoxide moieities from the silane, thus allowing for condensation reaction of the hydrolyzed silanes and silanols on the surface of the silica.
- The type of process/reaction: silane derivatization.
- Relevant ranges of process parameters such as reaction conditions (pH, temperature): Silanization is done at high pH (8-11) and high temperature (50 -98 °C).
- Any purification step: Filtration using filter press or belt filters to remove residual salts and ethanol.
- Molar ratio of each surface treating agent used: 0.0025-0.014:1 on a mole ratio basis.
- Functionalities introduced by the treatment (e.g. carboxyl, amino, hydroxyl groups): Thiol (mercapto). - Percentage of coverage of particle surface, %:
- > 0 - < 50

- Additional information:
- The particle forming mechanism for each manufacturing process starts with the formation of liquid nuclei that grow to constituent particles that coagulate to aggregates and solidify. Constituent particles are therefore spherical in nature while aggregates (and agglomerates) show a high fractal structure.

- Additional information:
- The particle forming mechanism for each manufacturing process starts with the formation of liquid nuclei that grow to constituent particles that coagulate to aggregates and solidify. Constituent particles are therefore spherical in nature while aggregates (and agglomerates) show a high fractal structure.
As shape is spheroidal, Typical lateral dimension 1, Typical lateral dimension 2 are equal to Typical Length . Typical Length is d50 value.
As shape is spheroidal, Typical aspect ration is 1 (the substance is not in fiber form).

- Additional information:
- The particle forming mechanism for each manufacturing process starts with the formation of liquid nuclei that grow to constituent particles that coagulate to aggregates and solidify. Constituent particles are therefore spherical in nature while aggregates (and agglomerates) show a high fractal structure.

Shape
Shape description
- Shape category:
- spheroidal
- Shape:
- other: 3-dimensional branched fractal aggregates
- Pure shape:
- yes
- Range:

Percentileopen allclose all
- Percentile:
- D10
- Typical value:
- ca. 8.1 nm
- Range:
- >= 7.6 - <= 8.6 nm
- Percentile:
- D50
- Typical value:
- 10.4 nm
- Range:
- >= 9.9 - < 10.9 nm
- Percentile:
- D90
- Typical value:
- ca. 13.7 nm
- Range:
- >= 13.2 - <= 14.2 nm
- Additional information:
- The particle forming mechanism for each manufacturing process starts with the formation of liquid nuclei that grow to constituent particles that coagulate to aggregates and solidify. Constituent particles are therefore spherical in nature while aggregates (and agglomerates) show a high fractal structure.
- Fraction of constituent particles in the size range 1-100 nm:
- > 50 - <= 100 %
Crystallinity
Structures
- Structure:
- amorphous
- Name:
- amorphous
- Pure structure:
- yes
- Range:
- > 99.7 - <= 100 %
- Description:
- X-ray diffraction diagrams of SAS, show only a broad halo, revealing an X-ray amorphous structure. The detection limit for crystallinity by X-ray is in the maximum order of 0.3% by weight or below.
