Heterogeneous Catalysts - SiliaCat®
SiliCycle Inc.Are you familiar with SiliCycle’s heterogeneous (silica-supported) catalysts? Gathered under the SiliaCat® brand, they are made using an innovative technology. The matrix consists of organically modified silica, described as a sol-gel hybrid organic-inorganic material.
The SiliaCat family is an essential tool in the chemical manufacturing industry, as it opens the door for a “Green” and environmentally friendly synthetic route development. Recyclable and almost leach-proof, their use significantly reduces the amount of waste generated, eliminating costly downstream treatments.Because of the properties stated below, these heterogeneous catalysts are less hazardous to human health. And since they are supported, they significantly reduce the amount of handling and diminish the risks of accidents, associated with the use of their homogeneous analogs.Heterogeneous Catalysts - SiliaCat® Features & Benefits:
High thermal and mechanical stability
High reactivity and turnover numbers
