In the most general terms colloidal silica is a dispersion of amorphous silicon dioxide (silica) particles in water. These amorphous silica particles are produced by polymerizing silica nuclei from silicate solutions under alkaline conditions to form nanometer sized silica sols with high surface area. A charge is then induced on the silica nanoparticle surface that allows the silica particles to repel one another and form a stable dispersion, or colloid. Colloidal Silica is readily soluble in water in all proportions. It has a low viscosity, which is comparable to that of water. The individual silica particles get thoroughly dispersed in water. Ubiquitous products are characterized by their exceptionally low viscosity and excellent stability. Ubiquitous manufactures various brands of Colloidal Silica which are tailor-made for applications ranging from investment casting to catalysts manufacturing Grades Colloidal Silica is available in many grades. The concentration of Silica varies from 20 wt% to 50 wt%. The particle size range produced by Ubiquitous is between 7-35 nanometers.
