In a recent interview, HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon shares insights into the company’s progress on its plasma-based fumed silica technology.
✅ Independent testing confirms that HPQ’s pilot-scale Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) produces material that meets or exceeds Grade 150 commercial standards
✅ Both surface area (~150 m²/g) and viscosity (rheology efficiency) were validated by a potential customer under LOI
✅ Pilot-scale results now match the lab performance that originally attracted interest from major industry players
By watching the interview, you’ll learn:
- Why achieving both viscosity and surface area targets is essential for industrial adoption
- How this validation significantly de-risks HPQ’s commercialization roadmap
- What comes next in terms of continuous pilot operations and customer engagement under NDA
The global fumed silica market is projected to reach US$2.57 billion by 2034, and HPQ’s process offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to conventional methods.
