Industrial minerals have always served as an important part of our day-to-day life. Today, these minerals in the form of various types are used in almost every application. One such important mineral is Micro Silica powder which finds its uses in a wide range of applications. Also known as silica fume, Micro Silica powder is a fine quality by-product that is collected during the production of silicon and ferrosilicon alloys. It mainly consists of spherical particles that have an average diameter of 150nm. One of the major fields where this material is highly demandable is the use of concrete. Ashirwad Minerals is one of the renowned Micro Silica Powder Manufacturers from India engaged in offering a wide range of best quality Micro Silica Powder to its clients in domestic as well as international markets. Highly pure and efficient material, when the micro silica powder is used for the concrete, it helps in improving the durability and shelf life of the concrete, thereby saving the maintenance costs. Let’s take a closer look at some of the exemplary qualities and features of Micro Silica Powder.
- Micro silica powder is basically made from natural quartz or fused silica by the use of crushing, ball milling, flotation, high purity treatment and some other process of the micronized processing methods.
- Micro silica Powder in comparison to other minerals has excellent temperature resistance, high insulation, low thermal expansion, better chemical stability, corrosion, hardness and excellent performance.
- By the means of size, micro silica powder’s average particle size is 1/100 of the cement particle diameter, therefore it has the ability to highly disperse on the concrete, helps fill the cement particles and improve its density.
- Micro Silica powder also finds its uses in tunnel and mining operations, it has been very popular in a variety of ways. In the concrete mixtures, micro silica powder serves as an important mineral in making the concrete mixtures more cohesive by reducing wastage.
- Due to its supreme fineness and high silica content, Micro silica powder has become a highly effective material that also helps in reducing the permeability of the concrete to chloride ions and helps in protecting the reinforcing steel of the concrete from corrosion, especially in environments that are rich in chloride such as the coastal regions.
Moreover, the applications of Micro silica powder develop ceaselessly, the area of its applications are numerous. Apart from being used as the traditional building materials, refractories, etc. Micro Silica powder can also be applied to other industries such as paints and coating, electron, concrete, balata and so on. With years of experience and expertise in this domain, we have been proving only rich quality minerals to all our clients. Our Micro Silica Powder is highly appreciated for its smooth texture and high-cost effectiveness. Summing up, Micro Silica Powder is used to make green concrete ad leads to sustainable development. Lastly, it is also a beneficial material for different types of construction for various purposes such as high strength, heat reduction, abrasion, chemical, etc.
