PyroGenesis Canada ( (TSE:PYR) ) just unveiled an announcement.

PyroGenesis has received additional independent verification that its fumed silica produced by its fumed silica reactor pilot plant meets the commercial “150” grade standard, with both specific surface area and viscosity matching established benchmarks required for industrial applications. The company has successfully scaled its earlier lab results to pilot scale, progressively boosting surface area from 26 m²/g to as high as 191 m²/g, positioning the technology for a range of traditional fumed silica markets such as coatings, adhesives, sealants, inks, elastomers, insulation binders, and other high-performance uses. This validation from multiple independent entities, including a potential customer and a global fumed silica manufacturer collaborating with PyroGenesis, strengthens the company’s prospects for commercial deployment of the process, supports its ambitions to target higher-grade products, and could enhance its competitive standing in a widely used materials market where it holds an exclusive equipment-supplier role via its partnership with HPQ Polvere.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:PYR) stock is a Sell with a C$0.23 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on PyroGenesis Canada stock, see the TSE:PYR Stock Forecast page.
