Catalyst

Description

Copper oxide catalysts are used for the production of methylchlorosilanes and are engineered to stringent customer requirements. Catalyst powders are offered with elemental promoters to enhance reactor performance, increase the dimethlyldichlorosilane yields, reduce selectivity to high-boiling point residues (di-silanes) and increase silicon metal utilization.
