RW Microsilica (Silica Fume)

  • RW Microsilica, a byproduct of ferrosilicon alloy production in electric arc furnaces, is an ultra-fine pozzolanic material composed of amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO₂ >90%). With particle sizes averaging 0.1 micron, it significantly enhances concrete’s mechanical properties and durability, particularly in aggressive environments. Compliant with ASTM C1240.

Key Applications:
– Marine Structures: Piers, coastal bridges, seawalls
– High-Performance Concrete: High-strength mixes (70+ MPa)
– Infrastructure: Dams, tunnels, water tanks, canals
– Corrosion Resistance: Chloride/sulfate-prone environments
– Decorative & Flooring Concrete

 

Performance Benefits:
✔ Strength Boost: Increases compressive, flexural, and tensile strength
✔ Durability: Reduces permeability by 50–70% vs. conventional concrete
✔ Chemical Resistance: Blocks chloride/sulfate ingress (extends service life)
✔ Pozzolanic Reaction: Reacts with Ca(OH)₂ to form dense C-S-H gel

Usage Guidelines
– Dosage: 3–7% of cement weight (replace cement 1:1 for strength gain)
– Critical Note: Always use with superplasticizers to offset water demand and prevent cracking.
– Mixing: Blend with dry aggregates first, then add water + superplasticizer.

 

Safety & Compliance
PPE Required: NIOSH-approved respirator, gloves, and goggles during handling.
First Aid: Flush eyes/skin with water if exposed.
Eco Note: Do not dispose in waterways or soil.

Certification:
Manufactured to ISO and ASTM international standards.
