Air Liquide and Denka have decided to launch a new phase of development with the expansion of the Denal plant to more than 500 tonnes per year capacity. This new step represents a total investment of more than 30 million euros. The unit shall be operational by 2008, and will enable Air Liquide Electronics to respond to the growing demand for this product in USA, Europe, and throughout Asia.

Christophe Fontaine, Vice President Electronics Group declared: "With this key project, Air Liquide again demonstrates its commitment to manufacture ultrapure silane for its customers. This investment, as well as our Jumbo bulk silane offer, will enable us to confirm our world leadership in silane and specialty gases. Our global sales in specialty gases today amount to almost 250 million euros. Owning a production capacity is a key advantage in the monosilane market."
