These optimum formulations were predicted for both BXS-245 precipitated and
fumed silica reinforced silicone rubber compounds.
The demand for hydrophobic
fumed silica is likely to grow at a significant rate in the future.
A major driving force for
fumed silicas globally is their growing demand in adhesives & sealants and paints/coatings & inks applications.
In the first phase of this expansion, the companies expect the capacity of
fumed silica to increase from 5,000 metric tons to 15,000 metric tons with commissioning expected in the second half ofcalendar year 2011.
The byproduct is gaseous hydrogen chloride which is separated from
fumed silica solid matter in the process.
[ClickPress, Fri May 03 2019] The
fumed silica market is expected to witness a moderate growth in the near future.
Precipitated hydrated silicas and
fumed silicas are two such classes of synthetic materials, both of which are produced by Evonik Degussa (Evonik).
In the future, the product groups Aerosil (powdered
fumed silica), Aerodisp (dispersion of
fumed silica), Aeroperl (special granulated
fumed silica) and Aeroxide (
fumed aluminum and titanium oxides) will be combined under the brand Aerosil.
Summary: Evonik Industries Maintains its Lead in
Fumed Silica Market, Cabot Corp and Wacker Chemie AG Follow Suit
Wacker-Chemie GmbH, Munich, Germany, and Dow Corning, Midland, MI, have finalized the master agreement for their planned Asian joint ventures to produce silicone intermediates and
fumed silica in the Shanghai, China, area.
