About Us

Established in 2010, Sica New Materials Group (abbriviated as Sica), is an enterprise dedicated to the development, production, and sale of such products as silicon metal, micro-silica fume, silicon carbide, quartz, and etc. As a mindful member of the earth, Sica is committed to becoming an important supplier of silicon materials in the world through good management, technical teams, and the integration of high quality quartz mineral resources, in order to contribute to the environmental protection.

 

 

Our Mission

 

To become a leader in the field of global environmentally friendly materials

Sica is a professional manufacturer of mining, selecting, smelting, development, production, and sale of quartz products. Under the leadership of the president, Francis Pan, Sica adheres to the concept of energy-saving and environmental protection, integrates Thailand's high-quality quartz mineral resources, as well as uses the industrial facilities principles of Taiwan's technology industries in combined with the professional management team in order to commit to become a high quality of silicon material supplier in the world.

 

 

History

Sica New Materials Group was established in Taiwan on December 23, 2010. After the completion of the capital increase in 2011, we reported to the Taiwan Investment Adjudication Committee in accordance with the law and were approved by the Thailand Investment Promotion Commission (BOI) on September 19, 2011 (the investment preferential certificate code is 2181(2)/ 2554) to transfer 100% of the investment to set up Sica New Materials (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as Sica Thailand).

Sica Thailand legally purchased 532Rai (about 851,200 square meters) of industrial land in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Examined and approved by the Environmental Assessment Committee of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Thailand through the EIA environmental review committee on December 12, 2012, Sica Thailand is the first Thai manufacturer to have legally obtained EIA approval for the production of silicon and silicon carbide. We plan to produce an annual production of 90,000 tons in high grade silicon metal and 30,000 tons of silicon carbide, with an estimated total investment of about 2.5 billion Thai Bahts.

 

 

Products

Silicon Metal

Sica produces metallurgical grade and chemical grade silicon metal in our Kanchanaburi factory. Silicon metal has become an indispensable material to the modern human societies in the past century. There are numerous industrial applications which are deeply involved with our daily lives, such as production of steel, aluminum alloy, semiconductors, solar panels, and production of silicones, which are widely used in lubricants and sealants, and etc. We supply refined grades silicon such as regular 2202/3303, and chemical grades 421/411. Contact us for availability of special requirement.

Microsilica (Silica fume)

Microsilica is produced during the production process of silicon metal as a by-product which is an important additive to cementitious industries. Since the 1950s, people started to make concrete with microsilica for the improvement of cohesion and durability. Sica supplies microsilica in undensified form (200-350 kg/m3) and densified form (600-700 kg/m3) depending upon customer’s requirements. Purity of SiO2 is > 95%.

Silicon Carbide

Production of silicon carbide is a part of our project, and hasn’t been initiated yet. Silicon carbide is synthetically produced as crystalline compound of silicon and carbon. It is widely applied in many fields such like abrasive and cutting tools, semiconductors, electric systems, automobile parts, astronomy, and etc.
