Silica fume MICROXIL and Silica fume MICROXIL+

Silica fume MICROXIL and Silica fume MICROXIL+ are finely dispersed powdered materials of a gray color. Silica fume MICROXIL and Silica fume MICROXIL+ are by-products originating from the production of ferrosilicon and silicon metal in electric arc furnace (EAF). Fine-grained condensed fumes of silicon dioxide are collected by bag house filters in dedusting units.

Silica fume MICROXIL and Silica fume MICROXIL+ have obtained a certificate of the factory production control.

Intended Use

Silica fume MICROXIL and Silica fume MICROXIL+ are used for manufacturing refractories - bricks, tiles, dishes, sanitary ceramics, high-temperature clay tubes, refractory concrete, special types of concrete /production of non-shapeable aluminium-silicon refractories/ excluding using a silica fume Type II addition into concrete in accordance with EN 13263,

• as an additive into silicon carbide (SiC) for manufacturing accessories for baking oven;
• preventing surfaces from wearing;
• manufacturing special ceramics;
• in the cement industry: raw material for clinker manufacturing including preparations;
• as an additive into fillers for filling defects in wood, plaster, wall and for glass manufacturing;
• manufacturing tools for shaft drilling;
• manufacturing inorganic dyes;
• manufacturing processing equipment in the chemical industry;
• as an additive against hardening of artificial fertilizers;
• manufacturing sealings, gaskets and plumbs;
• manufacturing elastic polymers, thermoplastics and plastics;
• manufacturing fillers, glues and adhesives;
• manufacturing diluents, washing powders and detergents;
• manufacturing base metals including alloys and alloys with coatings or chemical dyes.

Packing and Transport

Silica fume MICROXIL and Silica fume MICROXIL+ are supplied intheir original form or as a densified material (micropelletized). Avoid dampening material during transportation. For normal means of transport, such as road and railway transport, Silica fume MICROXIL and Silica fume MICROXIL+ are delivered in bulk in cisterns or in the closed containers. When packed in the closed big bags or in the other non-permeable packaging, Silica fume MICROXIL and Siilica fume MICROXIL+ can also be transported in open vehicles.
