key features for Microsilica

  • Ultra-fine, amorphous SiO₂ particles (≈150 nm diameter) that act as a powerful nano-scale filler

  • Superior pozzolanic reactivity, forming calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) to reinforce cement matrices

  • Reduces porosity and permeability in concrete for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance

  • Improves both compressive & tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and bond integrity

  • Elevates thermal stability and packing in refractory castables, enabling low permeability and high-temperature strength

Regional Applications of Microsilica

High-Performance & Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (HPC/UHPC)

Used to create ultra-dense, high-strength structures, microsilica significantly enhances the mechanical and durability properties of concrete—ideal for bridges, high-rises, marine infrastructure, and precast elements.

Grouts, Mortars & Shotcrete

In grouts and repair mortars, microsilica improves adhesion, early strength, reduces shrinkage, and delivers low permeability—making it excellent for structural repair and oil well grouting.
For shotcrete (sprayed concrete), it enhances adhesion, reduces rebound, and improves strength and bonding—ideal for tunnel linings, bridge repairs, and marine columns.

Refractory Castables & High-Temperature Materials

Microsilica fosters tighter particle packing, reduces water demand, forms mullite, and enhances flow—resulting in castables with superior thermal shock resistance and gas-tight integrity at elevated temperatures.

Oil & Gas Industry (Cementing & Sealing)

Used as a sealing and bonding additive in oil well cements and grouts—microsilica improves impermeability, bond strength, and durability in challenging downhole environments.

Fillers for Polymers, Ceramics & Other Uses

Microsilica serves as a functional filler in rubber, plastics, ceramics, and more—enhancing mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and thermal performance.
