Unique monolithic material

In traditional practice, monolithic silica gels produced using the sol-gel technology tend to experience significant shrinkage during synthesis, limiting their maximum achievable diameter to just a few millimetres.

Separative developed its own monolithic synthesis. The substrate exhibits specific surface area of 200 to 300 m²/g and features 5 to 15 nm pore size. Notably, it retains stability during drying and has mechanical strength similar to ceramics. These remarkable properties are the key knowledge of Separative fabrication processes.
