Evonik starts production of precipitated silica in South Carolina

Evonik has invested about US$120 million in this world-scale production plant, in response to the high demand from the tire industry for precipitated silica in North America. The automotive sector needs highly dispersible precipitated silica for production of tires with improved rolling resistance and better wet grip. Silicas are part of Smart Materials, one of Evonik’s four strategic growth engines.

Evonik starts the production of precipitated silica in the U.S. state of South Carolina to supply the tire industry.
