Silica Products and Kanpur Chemical Industries, units of MLA
Group of Industries are one of the largest manufacturers of
precipitated silica / hydrated silica / amorphous silica / silicic
acid and silicates today, having complete vertical integration,
rigid quality control standards and unique product properties.
Not only have we stood the competition against multinationals,
but are the leaders in several fronts, where through intensive
research we have developed products with unmatched properties,
by standards. We cater to every segment of the market with user
specific products. We started operations in 1985 and have today
grown into a company with an annual production of 4000 MT/Annum
and an expediture as high as 10% of net profits on R & D
annually. |
| |
We are the global
leaders today in the manufacture of precipitated calcium silicates
having following unique properties:
| a. |
Very
High Water / Oil Absorption |
| |
Upto
600% has been achieved and efforts are in progress to achieve
the 800% mark. Most competing products have water-absorption
upto 300% maximum only. |
| b. |
Very
Low Bulk Densities |
| |
Upto
0.04 gm/cc has been achieved whereas competing products have
0.12 gm/cc minimum. |
| c. |
Very
High Surface Areas |
| |
Upto
600 m2/gm has been achieved. |
| |
|
| PRODUCTION
FACILITIES |
| |
| Precipitation
is carried out in microprocessor controlled batch reaction
vessels, followed by filler-presses/vaccum filters and
flash/spray driers and finally micro-mill with classifier
for micronization wherever required. |
| |
