Rhodia Rare Earths and Silica Systems is world leading manufacturer of High Performance Silica and Rare Earth Products. SILICA SYSTEMS produces high performance Silica products along with a wide range of Innovative solutions and services. This technical expertise provides us with leading positions in the Tire & Rubber, Nutraceutics, Polymer Reinforcement, and Dentifrice markets. Our ability to innovate and work closely with our customers has brought about some of the worlds most advanced silica products including, micropearl, highly dispersible silica, Zeosil and Siloa. Siloa, for example, is a precipitated silica with properties that bridge the performance gap between high cost fumed silica and standard precipitated silica. The silica business is supported by plants in Collonges au Mont d'Or (France), Livorno (Italy), Chicago Heights (USA), Paulinia (Brazil), Barquisimeto (Venezuela), Inchon (South Korea), Qingdao (China), as well as five global research and development centers. RARE EARTHS provides performance products primarily for the electronics and catalyst markets. With production and research centers located in key areas in the USA, Japan, China and France, our enterprise is widely recognized for its technological and process know-how. Our products, mainly rare-earths based, provide high technological applications and innovations: precursors for electronic ceramics (SUPERAMIC?), high performance polishing powders (CEROX?, OPALINE?), high purity solvents for wafer manufacturing (RHODIASOLV?), medical imaging or luminescence... The mastering of catalysis related technologies provide applications for environment or automotive emissions control (Fuel-borne catalyst for the regeneration of diesel particulate filters EOLYS?, advanced materials for catalytic converters ACTALYS?, materials for Fuel Cells, chemical catalysis...). Our products also provide efficient and economic solutions for the manufacturing of numerous materials (coloration of ceramics, functional additives for polymers...). Providing services that create value, proposing innovations that help companies to grow, developing solutions that suit specific needs are part of our culture of results. But over and above product quality and international experience, satisfying our customers means to be close to them. Everywhere. That's our ambition. Our philosophy.
