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
