Product Overview
Silicon powder, also known as micro-silica powder or silica fume, is an ultra-fine powder composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). It is produced during the high-temperature smelting of industrial silicon and silicon iron in electric furnaces, with the smoke dust being collected and processed by specialized equipment. The powder's particle size is very small, averaging in the nanometer range, giving it exceptional physical and chemical properties, making it widely applicable in various industries.
Key Features
- Nano-Scale Particles: The average particle size is in the nanometer range, ensuring a fine and uniform texture.
- High Purity: SiO₂ content is about 90%, ensuring excellent purity.
- Outstanding Chemical Stability: Excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and high-temperature performance.
Applications
- Concrete and Construction Materials: Enhances the strength and durability of concrete, especially in high-performance concrete.
- Refractory Materials: Widely used in manufacturing high-temperature resistant materials such as refractory bricks in the metallurgical industry.
- Electronics and Semiconductors: Used as a key material in the production of electronic components and optoelectronic devices.
- Glass and Ceramics: Strengthens glass and improves its thermal resistance.
- Coatings and Paints: Enhances wear resistance and corrosion resistance in coatings.
