Material Science

Our products are based on silica and alumina chemistry.

By applying innovative and state-of-the art processes and technologies, silica and alumina can be formed into various specialized products such as silica gels, precipitated silica, zeolitic molecular sieves, silica sols, and modified silica products.

Silica gels are synthetic amorphous products of pure SiO2.
They are used e.g. as:


Material Sciences


Zeolites are crystalline alumino-silicates with narrowly defined pore structure, thus the term molecular sieves. Main usage is as:


Molecular Sieve


Colloidal silicas are aqueous colloidal dispersions of very small silica particles. They are used as:


Colloidal Silica


Precipitated silicas are also synthetic amorphous silica products, but with a different structure than silica gels. They are used as:


Precipitated Silica
