Dimona Silica Industries Ltd (DSI) recently completed the construction of facilities at Dimona in the Negev Desert for mining and processing porcellanite to make 40,000 tonnes/y of precipitated silica. There are substantial deposits of porcellanite, containing 40-45% of amorphous silica, in this region. As well as having abundant raw materials, sufficient to support operations at current levels for more than 200 years, DSI also has access to relatively low energy costs thanks to the proximity of a 115 MWh power station.
DSI sells its precipitated silica under the Dimosil brandname, mainly to tyre manufacturers. During 2007, the company plans to launch its range of highly dispersible (HD) silicas. The company also supplies precipitated calcium carbonate for applications in paper, paint, rubber and plastics.
