SBA (Santa Barbara Amorphous Silica)
SBA silicas possess ordered structures that contain uni-dimensional mesopores of uniform size ranging from about 4 to 30 nm. These mesoporous silicas have uniform and adjustable pore size, thick pore walls, superior hydrothermal/thermal and mechanical stability, high surface area, high pore volume and open pore structure. Due to their high hydrothermal stability and thick pore walls, they are widely used as a catalyst support in various reactions.
Glantreo has vast knowledge in the manufacture of Mesoporous Silica (MS). For almost 15 years we have supplied large quantities (up to kg quantities) of Mesoporous Silica to our Researcher and Industry partners.
In addition to the raw materials, we offer SBA functionalised with amine, thiol and titanium groups. We also offer all variations in pelletised formats. The pellets are available in 2mm x 5mm. Shape of SBA can be manipulated to produce hexagonal columns, short rods and long rods. Please contact us to discuss your requirements in more detail.

End applications include:
❖Waste water treatment for heavy metals
❖Gas adsorption
❖Targeted drug delivery
❖Supports for metal and enzyme catalysts
❖Scaffolds for cells to attach to
