an intelligent material, silicon dioxide belongs to the four strategic growth engines of Evonik, the market is developing rapidly and is widely usedThe new plant in Zhenjiang is Evonik's first gas-phase silicon dioxide plant in China, which will further improve the global production network of EVOSIL's ® products and provide more solid supply guarantees to Chinese customersAndreas Fischer, director of Evonik Resource Efficiency Ltd., said at the groundbreaking ceremony" Evonik and Xin'an as the leaders of their respective industries, we have a lot in common in strategy, philosophy, thinking, with very strong cooperation and complementarityIn this context, through strong joint, jointly in Zhenjiang New Materials Industrial Park layout of high-end gas phase silica project, in line with the strategy of both sidesWu Jianhua, chairman of Zhejiang Xin'an Chemical Group, saidjoint venture plant will combine Evonik's leading product technology and Xin'an's leading silicone industry chain to produce high-value-added gas-phase silica products using Xin'an's single-product by-product silane and chlorosicosteAt the same time, the production process of parastatic acid will also be used as the production raw materials of the Xinanzhenjiang block, so as to achieve a green circular economy, to play the synergy of silicone monomer, chlorosilane and gas-phase silica resource balance" Evonik sees Asia, and China in particular, as a major growth area for business China is currently facing industrial transformation and upgrading, and these transformations have also brought huge market opportunities for Evonik The establishment of the new plant will further enhance our position in the Chinese gas phase silicon dioxide market At the same time, I am also pleased to work closely with Xin'an, a strong local partner, to develop the Chinese market "The president of Evonik North Asia, Dr Koelesch, added gas phase method silica is an important high-tech nanomaterial At present, the global gas phase method silica market is growing at a faster rate than the global economic growth rate Among them, China is one of the countries with the fastest growth rate of the development speed and market demand of the gas-phase silica industry, and the main drivers of its market include adhesives and sealants used in the construction and automotive industries, as well as colloidal batteries Evonik is the world's leading manufacturer of silica In addition to the gas phase method® AEROSILIOio and precipitation silica SIPERNAT ®, ULTRASIL ® and ZEODENT® and SPHERILEX ®, Evonik also produces ACEMATT ® as the brand of silicon dioxide decarbonizer, aER ® brand of other gas-phase metal oxides Evonik produces more than 1 million tons of silicon dioxide products worldwide
