Custom Engineering

The core of SILPORE: we develop inorganic materials to your requirement — structure, surface and particle profile are design variables, not fixed specs.

What We Can Tune

Every development project starts from a simple question: what does the material need to do in your system? From there, we engineer across six dimensions:

  • Specific surface area — from compact to highly developed surfaces
  • Pore structure — pore volume and pore size distribution
  • Particle size and distribution — including narrow, process-matched cuts
  • Bulk and tapped density — from light, porous to compact grades
  • Surface chemistry — hydrophilic, hydrophobic, or functionalised
  • Purity grade — aligned with your industry framework

The combination is the product. That is why no catalogue can replace a conversation.

Detailed specifications are shared directly during technical discussions — under NDA, and matched to your application.
The Process

A Structured Path from Brief to Supply

Five stages, each with defined inputs and outputs — so you always know where your project stands.

1

Brief

You provide: application, target performance, pain points of your current material.
We deliver: feasibility view & NDA.

2

Design

You provide: process constraints & priorities.
We deliver: material concept & development plan.

3

Samples

You provide: evaluation feedback.
We deliver: characterised lab samples & data.

4

Validation

You provide: application test results.
We deliver: pilot-scale consistency data.

5

Supply

You provide: volume & quality agreement.
We deliver: commercial supply with full documentation.

Working Together

A Partnership Built Around Your Product

Confidentiality First

NDA before technical exchange. Your application details and project information are protected from the first conversation onward.

Exclusive Supply

Custom grades can be reserved exclusively for your products — a material developed with you works for your products, and only your products.

Flexible Collaboration

Exclusive-grade supply, licensed use of custom developments, long-term supply frameworks — the commercial structure follows the partnership. We sell materials, not IP: what we build together stays in your hands.

In Practice

Typical Development Scenarios

Anonymised examples of the kind of briefs we work on.

Nutraceuticals

High-Loading Carrier

A customer needed to convert an oxidation-sensitive botanical oil into a compressible powder at high loading, without flow loss. We developed a porous carrier grade balancing uptake capacity and post-loading flowability.

Coatings

Matting Without Roughness

A coating formulator needed strong gloss reduction with a smooth film surface. We engineered a particle size distribution and surface treatment combination for their water-borne system.

Energy Storage

Purity-Critical Development

A battery materials team required an inorganic functional powder under a tight trace-element profile with full batch traceability. We built the grade and the documentation regime together.
