    Grace Expands Colloidal Silica Manufacturing In Germany
    02.21.19
    W. R. Grace & Co. began constructing a new colloidal silica plant at its European flagship manufacturing and R&D center in Worms, Germany. 
     
    This investment will significantly increase the capacity for Grace’s LUDOX portfolio of colloidal silica products. 
     
    The expansion is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2020.

    The new LUDOX colloidal silica plant will:
    • Accelerate the development of new LUDOX colloidal silica applications into a wide spectrum of industrial applications including catalysts, functional coatings, and precision investment casting;
    • Support increasing demand in this high growth, high-value specialty silica segment;
    • Improve alternative sourcing and logistics capabilities to better serve customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
    “We are seeing very strong demand for LUDOX colloidal silica, and most importantly, we are helping many customers develop entirely new products and markets,” said Sandra Wisniewski, president, Grace Materials Technologies. “Grace is strategically investing to increase capacity for a variety of products. This new manufacturing facility will allow us to better serve both existing and new customers with differentiated silica technologies that deliver value to accelerate commercialization of their new products.”
