What is Silica Fume (Microsilica)?

Release time: 2024-11-11

Silica fume (also known as microsilica) is very fine noncrystalline silica by-product resulting from the reduction of high-purity quartz and carbon in electric arc furnaces during the production of elemental silicon or alloys containing silicon.


Silica fume consists of very fine vitreous particles with a surface area ranging from 15 to 30 m2/g, with particle approximately 100 times smaller than the average cement particle. Because of its extreme fineness and high silica content, silica fume is a highly effective pozzolanic material.


Silica fume is used in concrete to improve its properties. It has been found that silica fume greatly improves compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance; reduces permeability; and therefore helps in protecting reinforcing steel from corrosion.
