Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. delivered high-grade silica samples from its four prominent high-grade silica assets to the Pyrogenesis and HPQ's PureVap facility in Montreal. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in QIMC's commitment to advancing the exploration and utilization of high-purity silica for cutting-edge applications.

The silica shipped to HPQ comes mainly from metaquartzites units from the Charlevoix silica property (Zec des Martres sector). The latter has mineralogical, chemical and physical characteristics that are particularly well suited to HPQ silicon's criteria to feed the new HPQ PureVap metallurgical process. The delivery of these samples will facilitate comprehensive testing and analysis at the state-of- the-art facilities operated by Pyrogenesis and HPQ PureVap.

The collaborative efforts aim to explore and optimize the potential of high-grade silica in various technological applications, including advancements fumed silica. The collaboration between QIMC, Pyrogenesis, and HPQ PureVap underscores a shared commitment to innovation and sustainable technological development. By leveraging the company?s respective expertise and capabilities, the company?s partnership aims to accelerate the development of high-performance silica-based materials and batteries that can drive forward critical advancements in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
