Regional Coverage
Silica, in its many forms, is a necessary component for a wide range of products and construction materials around the world. Specialty Silica (precipitated, fumed and silica gel) play a vital role in a wide range of end use markets spanning rubber, elastomers, electronics, print media, chemical mechanical planarization, polymers and footwear among other applications. With such a diverse range of important applications, demand for silica is on the rise in many countries.
Precipitated Silica holds the majority of the share of the overall specialty silica market and is growing at an accelerated pace mainly on the back of growth in the automobile and construction sector and also the increasing adoption of green tyres. Highly Dispersible Silica (HDS), made from sand, enables to produce green tyres and it is used to transform the performance of the tyre for both fuel efficiency (easier for the tyre to roll) and safety (improved traction) without sacrificing the overall life of the tyre. In combination with silanes, it allows producing tyres with a significantly reduced rolling resistance can save fuel consumption over cars with conventional tyres.
