One、Innovative application of gas phase silica

Breakthrough in High-Performance Thermal Insulation Coatings. According to a July 2025 report, the new gas-phase silica material achieves significantly enhanced filler loading capacity through optimized microporous composite structure (far surpassing traditional gas-phase silica). Its hydrophobicity and density optimization design simultaneously suppress three heat transfer pathways: thermal conduction, gas movement, and radiation. This technology has been applied to building insulation coatings, substantially improving energy efficiency.

Advances in fire-resistant building materials Stanford University has developed an enhanced gel (with fumed silica) that will be unveiled in June 2025. It can be sprayed to form a durable fire-resistant layer that protects buildings from wildfires. Compared with commercial products, it is significantly more durable and effective.

TWO、Environmental application of precipitated silica

  A study published in February 2025 (with ongoing applications through mid-2025) proposes a novel method for converting waste mineral wool into silica aerogel. Through atmospheric drying technology, the material utilizes its high amorphous silicon content to produce lightweight thermal insulation materials that combine low thermal conductivity with flame retardancy.

  Plant oil refining technology Amine-modified precipitated silica particles were reported in April 2025 for the deacidification process of camellia oil, which can reduce the acid value through carboxyl-amino reaction. In the future, it may be extended to the field of biofuels.
