Silox
Located at the heart of PRAYON’s industrial site, SILOX BELGIUM ─ Société Industrielle Liégeoise des Oxydes ─ is the Belgian industrial production unit of SILOX HOLDING. SILOX BELGIUM produces sulphur dioxide, sodium hydrosulphite-based reducing agents, and an extensive range of zinc oxides that are sold around the world. SILOX BELGIUM manufactures a complete range of zinc oxides by the wet chemical process most successfully for more than thirty-five years. Our standard and active zinc oxides are known and recognized for their quality and performance. SILOX active zinc oxides are particularly well suited to the rubber industry’s specific needs. Silox’s wet chemical process yields a high specific surface which gives our products exceptional performance as vulcanization activators. This high performance enables the industry to reduce the amount of zinc oxide in its rubber compounds (observed decreases of from 40 to 70%, depending on the application), thereby reducing costs and heavy metal concentrations commensurately.
