Product Description
Micro silica, also known as silica fume or condensed silica fume, is a byproduct of the production of RHA-Rice Husk Ash. It is an ultrafine powder consisting of sub-micron sized particles of amorphous silicon dioxide, which are much smaller than those found in traditional silica sand. Micro Silica is used as a mineral admixture in the production of high-performance concrete, where it can improve the strength, durability, and impermeability of the material. When added to concrete, it fills in the gaps between the Micro silica particles, increasing the density of the material and reducing the amount of pore space.
Superior Additive for Refractory ApplicationsGrey Micro Silica is renowned for its effectiveness in refractory products due to its ultra-fine particle size and high silica content. It is particularly valuable in manufacturing different types of refractories, offering improved mechanical properties and resistance to thermal shock. Its versatility makes it ideal for both monolithic and pre-formed refractories.

FAQ's of Grey Micro Silica:
Q: How is Grey Micro Silica used in refractory applications?
A: Grey Micro Silica is added to refractory mixes to enhance their strength and reduce porosity. Its fine particles fill voids between aggregate grains, leading to denser and more durable refractories, improving resistance to extreme temperatures and corrosive environments.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Grey Micro Silica in manufacturing?
A: The primary benefits include improved mechanical strength, reduced permeability, enhanced durability, and increased resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack, making products longer-lasting and more reliable.
Q: When should Grey Micro Silica be added during the production process?
A: Micro Silica should be thoroughly blended with other dry ingredients before adding water or binding agents. This ensures an even distribution within the mix, optimizing its pozzolanic and filling effects in the final refractory product.
Q: Where is your Grey Micro Silica manufactured and supplied from?
A: Our Grey Micro Silica is manufactured in India, where we maintain state-of-the-art facilities to produce consistent, high-quality material. We supply both to domestic clients within India and to international markets.
Q: What types of refractories benefit most from Grey Micro Silica?
A: Monolithic castables, pre-formed refractory bricks, gunning mixes, and low cement castables benefit significantly from the addition of grey micro silica due to its impact on strength and durability.
Q: How does the use of Grey Micro Silica affect the cost efficiency of refractory products?
A: By enhancing the lifespan and performance of refractory products, Grey Micro Silica helps reduce maintenance costs and the need for frequent replacements, offering long-term cost savings for industrial users.
