Precipitated Silica

EXCELLENCE THROUGH RESEARCH & DEVLOPMENT

Synthetic 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 leading manufacturer of precipitated calcium silicates in India and have promising quality over our products. We ensure multiple testing of our products through the experts and professionals which helped us to stand as leading precipitated silica suppliers/exporters in the world, following are some of ours 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.

APPLICATIONS (PRECIPITATED SILICAS)

UNISIL NK precipitated silicas having high absorption capacities can be used to provide one or several of the following properties:

• Free - flow
• Thixotropy
• Carrying Agent
• Anticaking
• Flatting
• Matting
• Reinforcement
• Insulation
• Lightness
• Rheology Control
• Suspension
• Inert filler

PESTICIDES

• For improvement in the suspension power and as a carrier for the active igredients, specially malathion, acephate and isoproton based formulations.
• For improvement of free-flow characteristics and storage stability.
• As a grinding auxillary.

FEEDSTUFFS & FOOD ITEMS

• Improvement in free-flow properties and storage stability of table salt, spices etc.
• Anticaking of milk extenders and fat concentrates, feedstuff urea & mineral mixtures.
• Conversion of 75% acqueous choline chloride solution into stable 50% powder form.
• Conversion of liquid active substances into powder form, e.g. ethoxyquin, flavours & fragrances.

CHEMICALS - PRECIPITATED SILICA

• Conversion of liquids to free flowing powder form (e.g. SP antioxidant & other rubber chemicals).
• As a grinding aid (e.g. with sulphur).
• For anti-caking & free flow. (e.g. Detergents).

PLASTICS & POLYMERS - PRECIPITATED SILICA

• To provide reinforcement properties in PP, PVC, PE and Polystyrene based master batches.
• As an anti-blocking agent in blown films & foils.
• Improvement in the mechanical characterstics of PVC flooring.
• With Phenol + melamine resins for anti-caking during storage and improvement in dosing properties of molding compounds.
• Auxillary during production of polychloroprene based adhesives.
• With thermoplastic rubber for reduction in abrasion and increase in dimensional heat stability.
• Reinforcement of Natural, SBR, Silicone, EVA, Nitrile, EPDM & other rubbers.

OTHER PRODUCTS

  Due to high surface area they function as clarifying and adsorption agents (e.g.beverages).
• Adhesives
  To adjust rheology and provide reinforcement.
• Greases / Lubricants
  For rheology control.
• Paint, Dyes & Printing inks
  As a flatting / matting agent to reduce gloss or as a filler.
• Paper Industry
  Provides lightness, whiteness & improves mechanical properties.
• Toothpaste & Polishes
  As a mild abrasive and for rheology control.
• Pharmaceuticals
  As a processing aid in tabletting & pelletizing.
• Cosmetics
  For rheology control.
