Microsilica (silica fume) is a by-product of silicon metal or ferrosilicon industries, is an amorphous silicon dioxide SiO2. This product reacts chemically with the calcium hydroxide in the cement paste which yields a calcium silicate hydrate gel that significantly enhances strength and durability. The super fine microsilica fills the voids between cement particles creating a very dense, less permeable concrete.

The fineness and specific surface area are about 80-100 times of cement and 50-70 times of fly ash. Maxtech Micro Silica supplies will be as per QCS 2014 (ASTM C1240): SiO2: >/= 92% LOI:
Micro Silica Sand: Micro silica also known as fume, is an amorphous (non-crystalline) polymorph of silicon dioxide, silica. It is an ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy production and consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 mm. The main field of application is as pozzolanic for high performance concrete because of its extreme fineness and high silica. Applications : Silica is added to Portland cement concrete to improve its properties, in particular its compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance. These improvements stem from both the mechanical improvements resulting from addition of a very fine powder to the cement paste mix as well as from the pozzolanic reactions between the silica fume and free calcium hydroxide in the paste. Advantages : Addition of silica also reduces the permeability of concrete to chloride ions, which protects the reinforcing steel of concrete from corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as coastal regions and those of humid continental roadways and runways (because of the use of deicing salts) and saltwater bridges.
Silica Fume (Micro Silica) is mainly used as cement admixture or concrete binder to improve the performance of cement or concrete with higher strength abrasion resistance, erosion resistance, corrosion resistance and permeability resistance

We are named among the renowned Manufacturers, Exporters and Suppliers of Micro Silica Powder. It is formulated under the strict vigilance of experts so as to ensure its accurate composition. One can place retail as well as bulk orders for Micro Silica Powder with us. Description : Silica fume consists of very fine particles. Because of its extreme fineness and high silica content, silica fume is a highly effective pozzolanic material. Being a highly reactive pozzolan, silica fume chemically reacts with the calcium hydroxide present in the cement paste, creating a stronger calcium silica hydrate 'making it sticky'. The result is improved paste to aggregate bond (excellent for shotcrete) and higher concrete strengths. Silica Fume is typically grey in colour and is categorised as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM). Silica Fume is compliant to AS/NZ 3582.3:2002 and is described as a Densified Amorphous Fumed Silica. Typical Uses : Silica Fume can be used to produce all grades of concretes. The chemical and physical properties of Silica Fume can greatly enhance the strength performance and the bonding properties of concrete. Silica Fume can be used in various applications and projects: Commercial, Civil, Mining and Marine projects. Silica Fume is suitable for inclusion in general concrete mix designs and in particular has application in high strength/ performance concretes and shotcrete / spray mixes. Features : The addition of Silica Fume can provide; Increase compressive strength Reduces chloride ion permeability Increase abrasion resistance Enhanced sulphate resistance Improved durability Enhanced resistance to chemical attack and deterioration Increase bond strength
