Technology

Two wet-process routes, a full post-processing toolkit, and application-level analytics — the engineering base behind every grade.

Synthesis

Two Routes, Two Toolkits

Precipitation and gelation produce fundamentally different particle architectures. Having both in-house means the route follows the requirement — never the other way around.

Route 01

Precipitation

A controlled wet-process route in which particle formation, aggregation and structure build-up are steered through process conditions. Well suited for reinforcing, carrier and functional filler profiles at scale.

  • Aggregated particle architectures
  • Structure level controllable via process design
  • Scalable, consistency-oriented production
Route 02

Gelation

A route in which a three-dimensional network forms first and is then broken down, dried and classified — producing distinct pore architectures and surface characteristics for matting, carrier and high-absorption profiles.

  • Network-derived pore structures
  • Distinct surface and pore-size character
  • Complementary profile to precipitation grades
Post-Processing

Finishing the Material to the Application

Surface Treatment

Hydrophobic modification and functional surface chemistry for media compatibility.

Classification

Particle size cuts and distribution control matched to your process window.

Drying Technologies

Drying routes selected to preserve — or deliberately adjust — pore architecture.

Thermal Treatment

Calcination options where the application calls for modified surface and structure.

Application-Level Analytics

Certificates tell you what a material is. Application-level testing tells you what it does. Our characterisation covers both:

  • Surface area and pore structure analysis (gas adsorption methods)
  • Particle size and distribution (laser diffraction and related methods)
  • Morphology characterisation (electron microscopy)
  • Absorptive and flow behaviour relevant to your process
  • Formulation-level evaluation together with your team

A Note on Material Science

Our synthetic silicas and calcium silicates are amorphous. From an occupational-health classification standpoint, amorphous silica is categorised differently from crystalline silica — a distinction rooted in mineral structure, not in brand or supplier. Safety documentation is available on request.

Characterisation data for development projects is shared under NDA, alongside samples.
