Application Solutions for Multiple Industries

PPG’s first precipitated silica products were developed in collaboration with rubber manufacturers in the 1930s to solve a specific problem; namely, the shortage of natural rubber. That legacy continues. For the past 80 years, we have worked with customers to develop and advance precipitated silica solutions that have become inextricable to high-performance in a variety of applications and industries.
