HPQ Silicon CEO Bernard Tourillon joinedSteve Darling from Proactive to share news about the company'sFumed Silica Reactor development project. This project is being led byHPQ Silica Polvere, a wholly owned subsidiary of HPQ Silicon, incollaboration with technology provider PyroGenesis Canada.

Fumed silica is a microscopic white powderwith a high surface area and low bulk density. It finds application invarious industries, including personal care, pharmaceuticals,agriculture, adhesives, sealants, construction, batteries, gel,automotive, and more.

Tourillonrevealed that the company has achieved a significant milestone in theFumed Silica Reactor development project. HPQ Silica Polvere hassuccessfully produced Fumed Silica material that exhibits structuralcharacteristics similar to commercial-grade fumed silica. The materialfalls between grade Aerosil 150 and Aerosil 200 when compared underTransmission Electron Microscopy.

The company has generated nearly one kilogram of Fumed Silicapowder, which will allow HPQ Polvere to send samples to interestedthird parties for testing.

Based on the testing data to date,using the proprietary Fumed Silica Reactor, HPQ Silica Polvere isconfident that it will be able to produce high-purity Fumed Silicacommercially at a cost of less than US$2.00 per kilogram. This cost islower than conventional processes, making HPQ Silicon's approachhighly competitive in the market. With the successful development ofthe Fumed Silica Reactor and the potential for cost-effectiveproduction, HPQ Silicon is poised to make a significant impact in theFumed Silica industry, offering a competitive and environmentallyfriendly solution for various applications.
