Evonik Industries has officially opened a new production line to manufacture surface-treated fumed silica under the Aerosil brand name.
The new line will be located at Evonik’s Rheinfelden, Germany site, which will boost its global production capacity for these products by 25%.
Aerosil speciality silica grades enhance the properties of high-performance adhesives, sealants and industrial resins, as well as varnishes and paints. The key driver behind the soaring demand for these products is the development of resource efficient products and technologies. Market trends, including the development of renewable energy sources and the automotive industry’s trend away from mechanical fasteners in favour of higher performance bonding, will be supported by this expansion.
Other significant applications include defoamer, plastic and toner products.
