More Organosilanes From Degussa-Hüls
Product NewsDegussa-Hüls AG is doubling capacity at one of its production plants in Antwerp, Belgium for sulphur-functionalised organosilanes. These rubber silanes are used as coupling components when precipitated silicas are used as fillers to reinforce rubber. Together with rubber silanes and rubber carbon blacks, precipitated silicas are the major component in “Green Tyres” which feature reduced rolling resistance and thus help to cut fuel consumption.
Price Adjustment For Precipitated Silicas And Silicates
Product NewsDegussa-Hüls AG of Frankfurt/Main (Germany) is to increase prices by 5% for precipitated Silicas and Silicates effective from June 15. The company argues that energy cost increases could no longer be offset by other measures. Silica is an important component for the reduction of rolling resistance in ‘green tyres’, as are rubber silanes and rubber blacks.
