PyroGenesis Confirms Additional Independent Verification of Its Fumed Silica Meeting Commercial Grade "150"

PYRGF
  • PyroGenesis Inc. received independent verification confirming that Test #7 of its fumed silica reactor (FSR) meets commercial benchmarks.
  • The material produced achieved a specific surface area of approximately 150 m²/g while simultaneously meeting required viscosity levels.
  • President & CEO P. Peter Pascali stated the pilot-scale results replicate original lab-scale findings for both viscosity & surface area.
  • FSR modifications have progressively increased specific surface area from an initial 26 m²/g to a current 191 m²/g.
  • Verified viscosity results indicate suitability for industrial applications including coatings, adhesives, sealants, inks, elastomers, & insulation binders.
  • The FSR pilot plant is operated by HPQ Polvere Inc., a subsidiary of HPQ Silicon Inc., in which PyroGenesis holds a 50% interest.
  • PyroGenesis holds an exclusive arrangement to serve as the sole supplier of equipment for any commercialization of the FSR process.
  • The reactor converts quartz into fumed silica in a single eco-friendly step without chemicals or hazardous by-products.
  • Fumed silica is widely used across industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, batteries, & construction as a thickening or anti-caking agent.
