About Micro Silica Fumes
ADICON Micro silica is an excellent admixture for concrete as it leads to better engineering properties. Micro Silica offered by our company, is manufactured and supplied by making use of premium grade of raw materials and high techniques. This silica reduces thermal cracking, improves durability, and increases strength. Our Micro Silica is tested under various parameters to ensure its high quality. This silica is very cost effective and highly appreciated in the market too. This requires very low maintenance and replacement costs.
ADVANTAGES
- Higher compressive strength by 10-20 %
- Reduces the rate of carbonation
- Lower permeability Resistance to penetration of water, chloride & other chemicals
- Lower free lime formation Delays Ettringite and Thaumasite formation
- Controls bleeding in fresh concrete
- Lower Heat of Hydration, which prevents formation of cracks.
PROPERTIES
- Appearance - Very fine powder
- Colour - Grey
- Odour - Odourless
- Particle Size - 45 microns

- Humidity - 2 % maximum
HOW IT WORKS :
- Pozzolanic effect: It increases the performance of concrete & formations. It acts physically to optimise particle packing of concrete or mixture and chemically as a high reactive pozzolan.
- Micro filler effect: It is an extremely fine material, with an average diameter much finer than the cement. It gets well distributed in the cementatious paste, thus blocking the bleed-water channels
PACKAGING Available in 25 Kg HDPE bags or Jumbo Bags (1000 Kg)
QUALITY Adicon Micro Silica Fumes is a super pozzolan - a finely powdered material which when added to cementitious matter increases durability and gives higher strength. It complies with ASTM C1240.

FAQs of Micro Silica Fumes:
Q: How is Micro Silica Fumes used in construction applications?
A: Micro Silica Fumes is added to concrete mixes as a supplementary cementitious material. Its fine powder form allows it to fill voids between cement particles, resulting in denser and stronger concrete structures.
Q: What is the chemical composition of Micro Silica Fumes?
A: The primary chemical component of Micro Silica Fumes is silicon dioxide (SiO2), making up a significant portion of its content. This composition contributes to the products acid refractory properties and high performance in construction.
Q: When should I consider using Micro Silica Fumes in my project?
A: Micro Silica Fumes should be considered when projects require enhanced concrete performance, such as increased compressive strength, improved durability, and superior resistance to chemical attack, particularly in harsh environments.
Q: Where can Micro Silica Fumes be sourced from in India?
A: You can source Micro Silica Fumes from reputable exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers based in India who specialize in construction and refractory materials, ensuring high-quality standards and reliable supply.
Q: What is the typical strength range provided by Micro Silica Fumes?
A: When incorporated into concrete, Micro Silica Fumes can help achieve strength values ranging from 45 to 100 MPa, depending on the mix design and application requirements.
Q: What benefits does Micro Silica Fumes offer over regular concrete additives?
A: Micro Silica Fumes significantly boost the strength, density, and durability of concrete, providing superior performance against chemical corrosion and reducing permeability compared to conventional additives.
Q: What process is followed to manufacture Micro Silica Fumes?
A: Micro Silica Fumes is collected as a by-product during the production of silicon or ferrosilicon alloys. The resulting ultra-fine powder is then carefully processed and packaged for use in various industrial applications such as construction.
