Silica Fume Slurry

Silica Fume Slurry is a liquid mixture of ultra-fine silica powder and water. Silica fume is a highly active volcanic ash material with extremely fine particle size and unique physicochemical properties. Silica fume slurry has a wide range of applications in construction, concrete, metallurgy, ceramics and other industries.

Uses

  • Improve the performance of concrete: Silica fume slurry can significantly improve the strength, durability and impermeability of concrete. It can also improve the fluidity and construction performance of concrete.
  • Production of high-performance ceramics: silica fume slurry is an important raw material for the production of high-performance ceramics. It can improve the strength, hardness and wear resistance of ceramics.
  • Used in metallurgical industry: Silica fume slurry can be used in ladle casting, casting and flux manufacturing.

Advantages

  • High activity: The silica powder in silica fume slurry has high activity, which can react with the hydration products in cement to produce a large amount of calcium silica gel. This gel can fill the pores in the concrete and improve the compactness and strength of the concrete.
  • High dispersibility: the silica particles in silica fume paste are very fine and can be evenly dispersed in water by dispersant. This makes the silica fume slurry has good fluidity and construction performance.
  • Good durability: Silica fume paste can improve the durability of concrete and resist the erosion effects of acid and alkali corrosion, freeze-thaw cycle and carbonation.

Applications

  • Construction: Silica fume paste is widely used in high performance concrete, self-leveling concrete, pumping concrete and wear-resistant concrete.
  • Concrete: Silica fume paste can be used to produce high strength concrete, high performance concrete and durable concrete.
    • High Performance Concrete: Silica fume pastes improve the strength, durability and impermeability of concrete.
    • Self-leveling concrete: Silica fume slurry can improve the fluidity and workability of concrete.
    • Wear-resistant concrete: Silica fume slurry can improve the abrasion and impact resistance of concrete.
    • Shotcrete: Silica fume slurry can improve the bonding and durability of shotcrete
  • Metallurgy: Silica fume slurry can be used in the fields of ladle casting, casting and flux manufacturing.
  • Ceramics: Silica fume slurry is an important raw material for the production of high performance ceramics.
