Rhodia Silica is the world leader for high-performance silica used in polymer reinforcement – chiefly for rubber and elastomers – or as “carriers” for dietary supplements.

Mainly used in the manufacture of low energy-consumption tires, highly dispersible Zeosil® silicas help to reduce CO₂emissions and form an integral part of the drive for sustainable mobility. They have received official approval from leading tire manufacturers worldwide.

High performance silicas sold under the Tixosil® brand are used in oral hygiene products as well as in the food processing and animal nutrition industries. 

Working from its eight production sites and four R&D centers, Rhodia Silica strives to provide its customers with unique technological solutions, These are designed to comply with the most stringent international regulations and support customers’ growth strategies – for example, with the opening in October 2010 of a new plant at Qingdao, China. 

Rhodia’s latest innovation for the tire industry is a range of new-generation, high surface-area silica.
