DETAILS
The expansion is expected to come online in 2016 and
will help PPG meet growing demand for its silica products,
including large-scale Agilon volumes tied to
a new multiyear global supply agreement with
a multinational tire manufacturer.
is a high-value technology platform of
chemically-modified precipitated silica that
can improve the performance of products in which it is used.
It can also drive manufacturing efficiencies by
reducing capital, improving throughput and
reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
In tires, for example, Agilon performance silica
can replace traditional silica-silane in rubber compounds
to improve vehicle fuel efficiency, tire traction and treadwear
by as much as 5 to 10 percent.

In industrial rubber applications, the technology can serve as
a higher-performing substitute for
conventional precipitated silica, carbon black and other fillers
where the end products require
significant heat dissipation, high tensile strength,
improved abrasion resistance or lower compression set.
a form of synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide,
is derived from quartz sand, a crystalline form of silicon dioxide.
The physical properties of precipitated silica
can be manipulated during the manufacturing process to
deliver products with a wide range of performance-enhancing features
engineered for many different end-use applications.
As one of the first manufacturers of precipitated silica,
PPG has more than 80 years of experience designing and
manufacturing precipitated silica for customers
in the following industries:
Tire
Industrial rubber
Silicone rubber
Footwear
Agricultural and Industrial
Coatings, paints and inks
Adhesives and sealants
