Affected by the new crown epidemic, the resumption of work after the Spring Festival in most parts of the country was delayed. Elkem ’s domestic companies took multiple measures to ensure that the economic operation of the drive, production and sales did not "break the chain" and quickly returned to normal production capacity levels. This merger and acquisition also overcomes many difficulties caused by the epidemic. The delivery was completed as scheduled, showing Elkem ’s global market operation capability and industry leader status as a multinational company. The acquisition will build a broad platform for further globalization of Aggregation Technology, which generates 90% of its revenue from the Chinese market, and the addition of Aggregation Technology will also promote Elkem to become a more attractive supply for the global food and medical grade silicone industry Business, enrich the product application portfolio, and consolidate Elkem ’s position in the domestic special silicone field.
Michael Koenig, CEO of Elkem, said: "The acquisition of Aggregation Technology is an important milestone for Aiken, which is in line with the company's special product development strategy, enhancing the strength of downstream special silicone technology and expanding Ken ’s competitive advantage. At the same time, the current macro environment highlights the value of multinational specialty material producers. We will also pay close attention to the global epidemic situation and flexibly adjust our strategic guidelines to protect the company ’s business development. "
Frederic Jacquin, senior global vice president of Elkem's Silicone Business Unit, said: "The products of Polysil are complementary to Elkem in the fields of food, baby care, electronics and medical care, and high-end liquid silicones. The market position of special materials for rubber and pressure-sensitive adhesives has great potential for development. The strong research and development capabilities of Polysil are crucial for product development in China and the global market. This capability is extremely beneficial to the company in the macro environment under the current epidemic crisis. , The vast majority of the business of Aggregation Technology is not negatively affected by the epidemic. "
Ma Hanyong, General Manager of Polysil, said: "I am very pleased that Polysil can join the Bluestar Elkem family. We are confident that we will use Elkem's global platform to further promote business development, bring more value to customers, and contribute to the overall development of Elkem. Make contributions to create a better future together. "
As one of the world's most advanced silicon-based materials suppliers, Elkem has production centers, R & D bases and sales networks all over the world.

Why Foam could be so inconvenient ? A light foam is generally not problematic in most applications however heavy foaming can often lead to various processing problems. These problems range from inaccurate readings from control and measuring equipment such as temperature, level and density controllers to poor mixing of reactants in chemical reaction vessels and products hanging in the foam, all too often leading to losses in production. Finally the presence of foaming can give a bad image of the way a process is operated in the eyes of a customer. The presence of foam in discharged effluent can cause complaints from local people and authorities even if the foam is harmless to people and the environment. How do silicone defoamers work ? Foam is a gas dispersion in a liquid or solid continuous phase. Foam iscreated by the surfactants which are at the air/liquid interface. Therefore air bubbles occur and are stabilised by the surfactants. Today, silicone antifoams are thebest solution to a...

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ?

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ? Quality of an antifoam is given by two main characteristics : • Knockdown ability or shock effect :Meaning the speed to destroy an existing foam. • Persistence or durability : Meaning the efficiency over time.   These two parameters can be assessed by several tests. The main test is the bubbling method. A graduated column with a glass frit in the bottom is required. Foaming water is poured in the column and air at constant flowrate is introduced through the glass frit in the column. Foam is generated by the air and starts to travel up the column. At a determined level of foam, antifoam is injected. By this method several antifoaming agents can be tested. A graph reporting foam height vs time is very helpful to establish the knockdown ability and the persistence for each product. The selected antifoam is the product with the best compromise between shock effect and durability       Environmental performance   Silicone antifo...
