From September 15 to 17, 2026, the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) hosted major industry events including the International Chemical Industry Fair China (ICIF China 2026) and the 29th China International Adhesives and Sealants Exhibition (ASE CHINA 2026).
As a supplier of fumed silica, GESEE visited the exhibitions as a professional industry visitor to explore current developments in chemical materials, adhesives, sealants and downstream applications.
Exploring the Chemical Materials Industry
ICIF China 2026 brought together companies and professionals from areas including basic chemicals, chemical new materials, specialty chemicals, chemical engineering and equipment, and other sectors across the chemical industry.
The exhibition provided a broad view of the latest products, technologies and applications throughout the chemical value chain.
For GESEE, the visit was an opportunity to observe market developments and gain a better understanding of the evolving requirements for functional materials.
Connecting Fumed Silica with Adhesive and Sealant Applications
Held at the same venue, ASE CHINA 2026 focused on adhesives, sealants, tapes, films, raw materials and related production technologies.
The exhibition also featured dedicated sessions covering electronic chemicals, emerging-industry adhesives and raw material innovation, reflecting the continuing development of high-performance bonding and sealing materials.
Fumed silica is an important functional material used in a variety of formulations. Depending on its grade and surface treatment, it can provide properties such as:
Rheology control and thickening
Thixotropy
Reinforcement
Anti-settling performance
Improved mechanical properties
Formulation stability
These properties make fumed silica suitable for applications including silicone rubber, sealants, adhesives, paints and coatings, electronic materials and other industrial formulations.
Observing Trends in High-Performance Materials
During the exhibition visit, GESEE paid particular attention to developments in silicone materials, adhesives, sealants, coatings, electronic materials and other high-performance applications.
The exhibitions also brought together technologies serving industries such as automotive, electronics and new energy. ASE CHINA specifically highlights applications across automotive, electronics, new energy, rail transportation, construction and industrial manufacturing.
For raw material suppliers, these downstream developments are important because different formulations require different combinations of surface area, surface treatment, reinforcement performance and rheological behavior.
GESEE Fumed Silica Solutions
GESEE provides hydrophilic and hydrophobic fumed silica grades for a range of industrial applications.
Our product portfolio includes grades with different specific surface areas and surface treatments to meet the requirements of different formulations.
Our hydrophilic grades are suitable for applications such as:
Silicone rubber
Silicone sealants
Adhesives
Paints and coatings
Industrial rubber
Other industrial formulations
For example, GESEESIL A200 offers a specific surface area of approximately 200 m²/g, making it suitable for formulations requiring high surface area and effective rheological and reinforcing performance.
GESEE also supplies surface-treated hydrophobic fumed silica grades based on different treatment technologies.
These grades are designed for applications where moisture resistance, compatibility with hydrophobic systems and controlled rheological behavior are important.
Typical applications include:
RTV silicone rubber
Silicone sealants
Adhesives
Coatings
Electronic encapsulation materials
Other moisture-sensitive formulations
From Market Observation to Better Material Solutions
Although GESEE did not have an exhibition booth at the 2026 Shanghai events, our team visited the exhibitions to stay connected with the industry and better understand the changing needs of downstream customers.
For us, an exhibition is not only a place to present products. It is also an opportunity to observe new applications, communicate with industry professionals and understand where material requirements are heading.
The information and market insights gained from industry events help GESEE continue improving its product portfolio and supporting customers with suitable fumed silica solutions.
