Cement or concrete admixture

Microsilica powder can fill the pores between cement particles, while generating gel with hydration products and reacting with alkaline material magnesium oxide to generate gel. In cement-based concrete, mortar and refractory casting materials, mixing the right amount of silica fume can play the following roles:

1、Significantly improve the compressive, flexural, seepage resistance, corrosion resistance, impact resistance and wear resistance.

2、It has the function of water retention, preventing segregation, water secretion and significantly reducing the pumping resistance of concrete.

3、Significantly prolong the service life of concrete. Especially in harsh environments such as chlorine salt pollution erosion, sulfate erosion and high humidity, the durability of concrete can be doubled or even multiplied.

4、Significantly reduce the landing ash of sprayed concrete and casting material, and increase the thickness of single spray layer.

5、It is a necessary ingredient of high-strength concrete, and there are already engineering applications of C150 concrete.

6、It has about 5 times the effect of cement, and can be used in ordinary concrete and low cement castables to reduce costs. Improve durability.

7、Effectively prevent the occurrence of concrete alkali aggregate reaction.

8、Improve the denseness of castable refractories. When coexisting with Al2O3, it is easier to generate mullite phase, which enhances its high temperature strength and thermal vibration resistance.

9、With strong volcanic ash effect, when mixing concrete, it can have secondary hydration reaction with cement hydration product Ca(OH)2, forming cementitious products, filling cementite structure, improving the microstructure of slurry, and improving the mechanical properties and durability of hardened body.

10、Micro-silica powder is amorphous spherical particles, which can improve the rheological properties of concrete.

11、The average particle size of microsilica powder is relatively small, which has good filling effect and can fill in between the cement particle gaps to improve the strength and durability of concrete.

 

Refractory material additive

High quality microsilica powder is mainly used as high performance refractory castables, prefabricated parts, ladle materials, breathable bricks, self-flowing refractory castables and dry and wet injection materials. In the field of high temperature ceramics, such as: oxide bonded silicon carbide products, high temperature type calcium silicate light insulation materials, corundum mullite pushing plate for electromagnetic kilns, high temperature wear resistant materials and products, corundum and ceramic products, selon bonded products, etc., micro silica powder is used with high fluidity, low water storage, high density and high strength.

 

Metallurgical pellet binder

Micro-silica powder is blended with water to make pellets and then dried or sintered naturally without adding binder, and the pellets have few impurities and can be returned to the electric furnace as smelting material.

 

Chemical product dispersant

In order to prevent some chemical synthetic powder from caking, micro-silica powder can be used to replace the more expensive treatment materials, instead of partial dispersion isolation and or increase the effect, widely used in micro-fine pesticides, fertilizers, fire extinguishing agents and other products.

 

Storage precautions: The product should be stored in a dry, rain-sheltered, shaded environment. The product encounters water caking activity loss. Prohibit prolonged exposure to the sun to avoid weathering of the bag and spilling of the product outside.
