Silica Fume Powder

Silica Fume Powder offers exceptional strength and durability for construction projects. This fine powder is a pozzolanic material. It significantly enhances concrete properties.

We connect Africa’s resources with global markets. This ensures reliable supply chains for industrial manufacturers. For example, its use is vital for demanding construction applications.

What is Silica Fume Powder and Its Benefits?

Silica Fume Powder, also known as microsilica, is an ultra-fine powder. It is a byproduct of silicon metal or ferrosilicon alloy production. Its fine particle size and high silica content make it a superior pozzolan. It reacts with calcium hydroxide in cement paste. This reaction forms additional calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) binder. Consequently, this greatly increases concrete’s strength and density. Additionally, it improves resistance to chemical attack and abrasion. It also reduces permeability, making structures more durable. This material is essential for modern infrastructure development.

• Enhanced Compressive Strength: Significantly boosts concrete’s load-bearing capacity.
• Improved Durability: Protects against harsh environments and chemical corrosion.
• Reduced Permeability: Prevents water and aggressive substances from penetrating concrete.
• Increased Abrasion Resistance: Ideal for high-traffic areas and industrial floors.
