The annual production capacity of micronized silica gels will be 12 thousand tons, stable silicazoles - up to 42 tons. T. The launch of the enterprise is scheduled for 2025.

This production is included in the list of projects that have a significant impact on related industries. To solve such an ambitious task, the enterprise in 2022 was provided with a preferential loan from the Industrial Development Fund in the amount of 5 billion rubles. This should be a good basis for mastering the production of silica gel and stable silicazole, Manturov said.

Micronized silica gels and stable silicazoles have a wide application. In particular, micronized silica gel is used in the manufacture of tires and rubber products, in the chemical industry - as a catalyst carrier, in the production of paint materials and plastics - as a filler, in food production - for filtration and stabilization of drinks and vegetable oils. Stable silicazole is used in oil refining for the synthesis of hydrocracking catalysts, in the production of transformer steel to impart anti-corrosion properties, non-stick properties to injection molds in the production of metals, adhesives, paper, paints, and building materials.^[1]
