Wacker Chemie AG has announced that it will build a new production plant for its HDK brand of pyrogenic silica at its Charleston site in the US state of Tennessee.
The facility, with capacity of about 13,000t/yr, is anticipated to involve capital expenditure of some US$150M. Construction work will start in Q2, 2017, with completion planned for the first half of 2019. This is expected to create some 50 new jobs at the Charleston site. Wacker already produces hyperpure polysilicon for the solar and semiconductor sectors in Charleston. Ultrapure amorphous silicon dioxide powder is used as a filler in silicone elastomers and as a rheology-control additive in paints, adhesives, unsaturated polyester resins and plastisols.
