Silica fume for cementitious applications

Silica fume for cementitious applications

Blogs
Silica fume, also known as microsilica, is a byproduct of the silicon metal and ferrosilicon alloy production process. It consists of extremely fine spherical particles, which are around 100 times smaller than cement particles. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, silica fume has become a valuable supplementary cementitious…

Specific Gravity of Micro Silica

Blogs
The specific gravity of micro silica is 2.1 g/cm3~2.5 g/cm3, and the loose bulk density is 200 kg/m3~300 kg/m3. The specific gravity of silica fume is about 2/3 of that of cement, but its density is only about 1/6 of that of cement. The main quality index of micro silica…
