Against the backdrop of the global chemical industry moving towards greener and more sustainable development, Winco Group recently announced a major strategic decision to merge its silica and silane business lines into Smart Effects, marking an important step forward for Winco in promoting innovation in the silicon materials industry. Smart Effects， As a core component of the "Advanced Technology" business unit of Evonik, we aim to provide more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions to global customers by integrating the professional knowledge of our two business lines.
The establishment of Smart Effects not only reflects the deep integration capability of Winco's silane and silica technology platforms, but also demonstrates its firm determination in promoting green chemistry. The head of Yingchuang Intelligent Materials Business Unit stated that by combining expertise in molecular silane chemistry and silica particle design, Smart Effects will provide customers with differentiated innovative products that not only enhance the performance of their products, but also help them achieve sustainable development goals while achieving environmental friendliness.
The combination application of Smart Effects is particularly noteworthy in the automotive and tire industries. With the increasing global demand for green tires, Smart Effects provides silicon dioxide and silane solutions that can effectively improve the fuel efficiency and safety of tires while reducing their impact on the environment. In the field of electronics, Smart Effects' high-purity silicon dioxide, metal oxides, and silane products have become indispensable materials in the manufacturing process of key components such as lithium-ion batteries and semiconductors, providing strong support for the green transformation of the electronics industry.
In addition, Smart Effects is exploring more innovative areas, such as the development of new adsorbents for direct air capture (DAC) technology. This technology utilizes surface modified silica carriers with amino silanes to efficiently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, providing a new solution for addressing global climate change.
Looking ahead to the future, Smart Effects will work together with global customers and partners with a more open attitude to promote green innovation and development in the silicon materials industry. Through continuous technological research and market expansion, Smart Effects will become a shining star in the global chemical industry, leading the industry towards a better future.
