OX0284 Micro silicon dioxide powder (SiO2) (CAS No. 7631-86-9)

Micro-Silicon Oxide Description

High-purity Micro-Silicon Oxide Powder with particle sizes ranging from the nano- to micro-scale exhibits measurable properties. It maintains thermal stability and electrical insulation, thereby making it suitable for applications in the electronics, ceramics and coatings industries. Micro-Silicon Oxide Powder is used to enhance the durability and conductivity of electronic devices, to increase the strength and hardness of ceramics, and to provide corrosion resistance in coatings.

Micro-Silicon Oxide Applications

1. Concrete and Construction: Micro-Silicon Oxide Powder is added to concrete mixes to improve the strength, durability and workability of the final product. It functions as a filler, thereby reducing porosity and improving the mechanical properties of concrete structures.

2. Coatings and Paints: It is used as a functional filler in coatings and paints, thereby providing anti-blocking, scratch resistance and UV protection. It may also improve the adhesion and surface smoothness of coatings.

3. Personal Care Products: In the cosmetics industry, Micro-Silicon Oxide Powder is incorporated in skincare products such as sunscreens, lotions and creams. It acts as an absorbent to control moisture, sebum and oil, thereby producing a matte appearance and reducing skin shine.

4. Pharmaceutical Products: Micro-Silicon Oxide Powder is employed in the pharmaceutical industry as a flow and glidant agent, thereby enhancing the flow properties and compressibility of tablet formulations. It assists in the uniform distribution of pharmaceutical active ingredients (API) and facilitates the manufacturing process.

5. Fillers in Plastics and Rubber: It is used as a filler in the plastics and rubber industry to improve the mechanical properties of polymers. It increases hardness, tensile strength, tear resistance and dimensional stability of the end products.

6. Ceramics and Glass: Micro-Silicon Oxide Powder is utilised in the manufacture of ceramics and glass to improve mechanical strength, thermal stability and chemical resistance. It aids in controlling the firing process and prevents cracks or deformations during high-temperature treatment.

7. Adhesives and Sealants: It is used as a thixotropic agent in adhesives and sealants to control viscosity and prevent sagging or flowing during application. It also improves the bonding strength and adhesion properties of the adhesive.

8. Catalyst Support: Micro-Silicon Oxide Powder may serve as a support material for catalysts in various chemical reactions. It provides a measurable surface area and aids in the dispersion of catalyst particles, thereby increasing their activity and stability.
