Silica Products

Davison silica gels and molecular sieve adsorbents enhance manufacturing processes and end products in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. With sales of $206 million in 1999, Grace Davison is a world leader in silica and silica/alumina technology.

Our silica gels are used as matting agents in industrial coatings as well as in finishes on fine wood furniture and leather products; to improve ink absorption and print quality for ink jet printing; provide the cleaning characteristic in toothpaste; improve handling characteristics of plastic films; selectively adsorb contaminants in edible oil and beverage processing; carry flavors and fragrances in personal care products, and aid separations in chemical processes.

A world leader in zeolite adsorbents for insulating glass, Davison also manufactures adsorbents for refrigeration, powder applications, packaging protection, and for purification of gases and liquids in petrochemical and industrial processes.

Our expertise in silica gel technology and in-depth applications knowledge in the markets we serve enable us to develop a wide product range based on controlling particle size, porosity, and surface chemistry. We have initiated the MarTech process to speed the development and commercialization of new products.

With a fully globalized infrastructure, Davison Silicas and Adsorbents serves customers worldwide with manufacturing facilities, technical customer support, and an experienced and dedicated sales force in all geographic areas and R&D centers in both the U.S. and Europe.
