CARiACT

Catalyst Support

CARiACTCARiACT is specially manufactured silica designed to have precisely controlled properties used as a catalyst support. Fuji Silysia Chemical, Ltd. has the capability to offer customers customized catalyst support aside from the standard grades. CARiACT comes in either spherical or granular shapes suitable for many applications.  Please CONTACT Fuji Silysia Chemical directly for MSDS.

Basic characteristics of CARiACT:

  • High Purity – Chemically and thermally stableCARiACT
  • Selectable Particle Sizes – Optimized for different reactor types
  • Controlled Pore Diameter – Precisely controlled and uniform pore distribution

CARiACT Q/C-Not Currently Available

A spherical catalyst support with higher crush strength. The increased crushing strength makes possible for dust-free loading of the catalyst into a reactor and further reduces broken particles and abrasiveness. CARiACT Q/C has higher bulk density (0.55 g/ml) to allow for down-sized reactor systems.

CARiACT G

A granular catalyst support also suitable for making molded catalyst supports. Larger particle sized supports may break during impregnation in solution due to lower water resistance compared to spherical types.

CARiACT P

A catalyst support designed specifically for polyolefin polymerization. This Vapor Phase method of polymerization is finding increased utility toward industrial catalyst operations. The shape of the catalyst support has significant impact on a polymer’s shapes, physical properties and handling characteristics. CARiACT P produces a highly uniform spherical shape and improved surface smoothness for increased efficacy.

Custom & Modified CARiACT

The CARiACT product line can be modified with treatments such as alumina, titania or magnesia to be utilized with maximum effectiveness. With in-house technology, custom CARiACT products can be produced with changes to pore diameter, particle size and surface area. Fuji Silysia Chemical strives to provide a grade and product that will work for your application and process.
