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…

How much silica fume to add to concrete?

Blogs, Cement Concrete

Because of construction materials, micro silica fume (silica fume) can fill the pores between cement and concrete particles, and form gel with hydration products, and react with basic material magnesium oxide to form gel. It can greatly improve the strength and density of concrete, and is widely used in refractory,…
