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. Physical characteristics: Color: gray or gray white powder Bulk density: 320-700 kg/m3 Chemical composition: Items SiO2 Al2O3 Fe2O3 MgO CaO Na2O Moisture Content 75-98% 1.0-0.2% 0.9-0.3% 0.7-0.1% 0.3-0.1% 1.3-0.2% Fineness: the fineness of the silica fume is less than 1 1/4m, and the average particle size is 0.1 0.3 1/4m, and the specific surface area is 20 - 28 m2/g. 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, also known as condensed silica fume or microsilica, is a spherical sub-micron amorphous silicon dioxide used in many applications. Silica fume is a co-product of silicon or ferrosilicon production, consisting of ultrafine (sub-micron), amorphous, non-porous, perfectly spherical silicon dioxide (SiO2) particles, with purity levels of 85 to 99 %. The main effect of these ultra-fine particles is to greatly improve particle packing and produce a highly pozzolanic reaction in concrete and other cementitious bond systems where the silicon dioxide reacts with calcium hydroxide, heightening performance levels and the strength and durability of these materials. Additionally, silica fume, because of its amorphous (non-crystalline) structure and its specific area, provides other useful features to various applications, including improved sintering capabilities and enhanced high temperature performance of refractory castables, resulting in reactions between microsilica and other components of the refractory mix. To summarize, silica fume has two key features which alone or in combination are the basis for its high performance: The nano-sized spherical non-porous particles create an efficient "filler effect" Primary particles have an average diameter of about 0.15 �¼m (150 nanometers) Microsilica is a highly reactive form of silica producing a "chemical effect" Thanks to its amorphous nature and high specific surface area.
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
