Product Overview

Consistent reactivity without sacrificing dispersion

A 85% SiO₂ undensified silica fume engineered for ready-mix concrete, dry mortar and general refractories. Its controlled agglomeration improves handling and transport while allowing rapid dispersion under normal mixing shear.

Fine amorphous particles fill capillary voids and support pozzolanic or ceramic bonding. Batch control covers chemistry, moisture, loss on ignition and bulk density (200–400 kg/m³). Ask MSILI to match the grade to your binder, dosage and process before scale-up.

Silica Fume Applications

Widely Used Across Industries

High-Strength Concrete

Improves particle packing, matrix density and compressive strength in bridges, high-rise structures and high-strength precast elements.

Dry-Mix and Specialty Mortars

Supports denser repair mortars, grouts and wear-resistant mortars with improved bond performance and long-term durability.

Oil-Well Cementing

Reduces cement-stone porosity and supports impermeability and thermal stability in oil- and gas-well cementing systems.

Shotcrete

Improves cohesion and adhesion, helping reduce rebound and increase build thickness during spray application.

Pumpable Concrete

Supports workability and cohesion during long-distance pumping and large-volume placement in high-rise, bridge and underground projects.

Industrial Floors

Helps increase surface density, abrasion resistance and crack resistance in warehouses, plants, logistics facilities and parking structures.

FAQ

Packaging, Loading and Shipping FAQ

Answers to common purchasing questions about packaging, export documents, sample trials, loading and delivery.

Where is SF-85 silica fume used?

It is the cost-effective choice for ready-mix concrete, dry mortar and general refractories, where practical strength, impermeability and durability matter more than ultra-low impurity levels.

Why choose SF-85 instead of another silica-fume grade?

Choose it when the specification does not require high-purity ceramic or extreme-temperature performance; moving to 92% or above should be justified by impurity limits or test results.

What does undensified SF-85 mean for transport and mixing?

Undensified here means controlled physical agglomeration, not a chemical binder. With a bulk density of 200–400 kg/m³ it improves loading and handling, while normal mechanical shear breaks the agglomerates down during mixing.

What dosage or formulation method is recommended for SF-85?

For conventional cementitious systems, 5–10% of total binder is a common trial range. Rebalance water reducer and water-to-binder ratio, then confirm strength, flow and permeability.

Which specifications should be checked before buying SF-85?

Check SiO₂, moisture, loss on ignition, bulk density, particle-size or fineness data and application-relevant activity. Confirm the current lot on the COA and validate it with the actual binder or resin system.
