SILICA

• Fine Silica Products are designed as a perfect
  complement for any application where gentle
  tactile feel is paramount
• AGSI Tech is a subsidiary company of AGC which
  produces spherical composites with a silica base,
  mainly for chromatography applications,
  separation and purification (M.S. Gel), and
  cosmetics, thickening agents (paint), additives
  (Sunsphere- Sunlovely)
• The principal advantage of M.S. Gel, Sunsphere
  and Sunlovely is the control of the sphere size
  and pore size and control of the spherical
  structure which makes it possible to provide long
  lasting physicochemical specific.
