(May 8, 2026) The latest news, the domestic silica industry is ushering in a new round of industry standard revision and standardization landing cycle, for the general precipitation method, gas phase method, daily chemical food grade, tire special high dispersion silica A number of national standards and industry standards have been updated and implemented, from 150S/500s particle size, purity, SiO₂ content, heavy metal salt F79 limit, surface modification index, etc., there are stricter and more detailed hard specifications.
In the past, the quality of low-end silica products in the market was uneven, with substandard SIO₂ purity, uneven particle size distribution, and excessive impurities, which disrupted the market order at low prices and brought pain points such as unstable formulas, high defective finished product rates, and rising rework costs to downstream tires, coatings, daily chemicals, and silicone enterprises.
After the implementation of the new version of the industry standard, the threshold for the whole chain from production access, factory inspection, batch sampling inspection, and third-party certification has been tightened, and small workshops and simple production lines that do not meet the standards have been accelerated. Regular leading enterprises take the lead in equipping a complete set of testing equipment, and establish a quality inspection system for the whole process from raw material entry into the factory, production process control to finished product delivery, so as to realize the traceability, detectability and benchmarking of product indicators.
The upgrade of standards has also led to a change in the logic of downstream procurement, and terminal enterprises no longer only look at the unit price, but also pay more attention to the stability of indicators, batch consistency, and compliance test reports, and are willing to pay a reasonable premium for high-end silica that meets the standard.
Industry analysis pointed out that standardization and standardization have been an inevitable trend in the development of the silica industry, bidding farewell to low-price and low-quality involution, and determining quality with standards and quality will become the core background color of the benign development of the industry in the future.
