SILCEA

At the heart of Rhodia Group’s growth and innovation, Rhodia Silcea is the global leader for rare earth-based materials and high-performance silicas.

By the very nature of the markets involved, the solutions proposed and the technologies used, Rhodia Silcea is intrinsically committed to sustainable development.

Leader in materials for vehicle emissions control technologies, Silcea supplies all the key players in sustainable mobility. Worldwide, our materials reduce the polluting emissions of over a third of the vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter. Our technology for diesel particulate filters, the only really efficient and reliable solution to eliminate soot from diesel exhaust fumes, is used in over 2.5 million cars.

In the areas of consumer lighting and electronics, we supply luminescent materials to the new markets of low-energy lamps, new-generation LCD and plasma television sets.

We have also developed, and are the global leader in, high-performance silicas. Our technologies have contributed to the invention of energy-efficient tires which, thanks to their low rolling-resistance, enable appreciable fuel savings.

Our teams satisfy local market needs in the four main continents with the same level of quality, service and expertise. More than just remaining a business and technological leader, we aim at serving all our customers through a global approach and in a sustainable way.
