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.
Micro Silica also known as Silica fume. It is a by product of producing silicon metal or ferrosilicon alloys in smelter using electric arc furnaces. It is a grey coloured powder, pozzolanic in nature.
Applications
Concrete Industry
Refractory
Rubber Industry
Anti caking agent
Pellet Binder
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 is mainly used as a carrier of agricultural chemicals. Finely crushed silica powder is coated with agricultural chemicals and sold on the market for agricultural use. Silica itself has no effects; it merely serves as a carrier, and so can be dispersed without affecting the farmland, which makes it advantageous as a core material.
It's used as Fire-resistant product powder, Agricultural chemical carrier, Agricultural chemical carrier, Construction board
Silica sand is one of the most common varieties of sand found in the world. It is used for a wide range of applications. Sand is the general term for broken down granules of minerals or rocks, technically between about one-sixteenth of a millimeter to two millimeters in diameter, falling between silt and gravel in the spectrum of sizes. There are many varieties of sand in the world, each with their own unique composition and qualities.
Silica is another name for Silicon dioxide, SiO2, of which quartz is a specific latticed structure. So, silica sand is quartz that over the years, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules. These granules can be used for many different purposes and can be found in most non-tropical regions of the world.
Silica Sand * Silica Sand is a type of sand usually available in the form of quartz. It is a hard and crystalline form of mineral components. * Silica sand is the most abundant mineral with the purity more than 99.0%. It is the preferred choice of consumption for various industrial purposes.
Silicon is the most abundant element on earth's surface and in the form of silica it is consumed in great numbers for industrial uses. We offer good quality Silica Sand that is in huge demand in the markets. We offer Silica Sand at very affordable price to adjacent states, national & multi national companies engaged in construction and manufacturing of glass making, foundries, abrasive, tennis coating, grinding media etc.
As a general rule, The purer the sand, the clearer the products
Silicon and oxygen are the earth's two most abundant elements and together they make silica, one of the earths three most common rock forming minerals.
Akshar Minerals Silica sand is high purity natural crystalline silica. It is inherently bright, white, low in moisture and chemically inert in nature. Basically, It is made up of two main element Silica & Oxygen. Silica sand is made up of Silicon Dioxide. There are number of different uses of silica sand in the industrial and commercial sector, from golf courses to glass making .
The chemical formula of Silica Sand is SiO2
Characteristics :
High Purity
Weather Resistant
White Appearance
Naturally Hard
Controlled Particle size
Chemically Inert
Applications
Akshar Minerals Silica sand is used depends on physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics such as grain size, shape color, structure and distribution as well as refractoriness strength and stability. There characteristics can differ depending on how mineral is processed after it is mined. This product gets easily mixed and can be used for high temperature applications like flat glass, furnace tubes and many more due to its excellent thermal expansion, hardness.

Silica gel is a desiccant and adsorbent material known for its ability to absorb moisture and maintain a dry environment. It consists of small, porous, and translucent beads of silicon dioxide (SiO2), and it is commonly found in small packets or pouches within product packaging to protect against moisture damage. Silica gel is invaluable for preventing the growth of mold, mildew, and corrosion in various products, such as electronics, leather goods, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used in industries like food packaging, where it helps extend the shelf life of products by reducing humidity and preventing moisture-related spoilage. Silica gel's exceptional moisture-absorbing properties and non-toxic nature make it a practical and widely used solution for preserving the quality and longevity of a wide range of items.
