Izmit, Turkey -- The Chemicals Business Area of Germany-based Evonik Industries AG, Essen, has expanded the silica capacity of its joint venture Egesil AS in Adapazari, near Izmit, Turkey. The new capacity is 40.000 tons/ year, which says Evonik Industries, is keeping pace with the growth in demand for tyre silica in Europe.
The expansion involved the addition of a new dryer, which commenced operation in the second half of 2007. The primary customers for Egesil products are the tyre industry and manufacturers of industrial rubber goods and dispersion paints.
