TOKUYAMA CORPORATION in Fumed Silica

Tokuyama added two grades of hydrophobic fumed silica in the China plant in the past two years. This addition would help in strengthening its position in the fumed silica market. The company sells fumed silica under the brand REOLOSIL, used in many common applications, such as strengthening of resins, thickening paints to prevent dripping, polishing semiconductor wafers, providing additives in pharmaceutical products, preventing ink blotting on paper, and improving the flow and transferability of printer ink.  Source: MarketsandMarkets Analysis
