High-Purity Silica Components
With a SiO₂ content of at least 94%, it provides a higher-grade silica component for systems with low water-to-binder ratios, high-setting materials, and high-performance materials.
Product Details
Densified Silica Fume
Suitable for material systems with high requirements for raw material purity, formulation stability, and long-term performance, such as UHPC, RPC, high-strength concrete, marine bridges, and high-end precast components.
Product Overview
94% Densified Microsilica is an ultrafine mineral material composed primarily of amorphous silicon dioxide. Compared to standard 85%, 90%, and 92% Densified Microsilica, the 94% grade places greater emphasis on raw material purity, impurity control, and batch consistency, making it suitable for high-performance formulations that are more sensitive to material variations.
Product Advantages
With a SiO₂ content of at least 94%, it provides a higher-grade silica component for systems with low water-to-binder ratios, high-setting materials, and high-performance materials.
Control raw material sources, impurities, moisture content, and production fluctuations to minimize the impact of raw material variations on workability, strength, and construction stability.
Suitable for formulation-sensitive applications such as UHPC, high-strength concrete, marine structures, high-end precast components, and concrete projects with stringent requirements.
The densified form has a higher bulk density, which improves space utilization in ton bags, warehouses, and containers, making it suitable for large-scale procurement and export shipments.

FAQ
Answers to common purchasing questions about packaging, export documents, sample trials, loading and delivery.
94% Densified Microsilica refers to an ultrafine siliceous material with a SiO₂ content of at least 94% that has undergone a densification process. The densification process increases bulk density, reduces space requirements for transportation and storage, and is suitable for high-performance concrete and refractory systems that require forced mixing.
The main differences between the two lie in SiO₂ grade, impurity control, and product positioning. The 92% grade balances engineering performance with cost-effectiveness; the 94% grade places greater emphasis on raw material purity and batch consistency, making it suitable for formulation-sensitive applications such as UHPC, high-end precast components, and high-performance refractory materials.
94% Densified Microsilica is primarily suitable for UHPC, RPC, high-strength concrete (C100 and above), marine and bridge structures, high-end precast components, high-performance grouts, as well as low-cement, ultra-low-cement, and SiC-containing castables.
Yes. 94% Densified Microsilica can be used in UHPC and RPC systems to help optimize powder gradation and matrix density. When using it, forced mixing, a proper feeding sequence, and compatible polycarboxylic acid superplasticizers should be employed to ensure that the densified agglomerates are fully dispersed.
Not necessarily. SiO₂ content is only one of the factors affecting performance; the final outcome also depends on the reactivity of Microsilica, particle morphology, dosage, water-to-binder ratio, compatibility with water-reducing agents, degree of dispersion, and curing conditions. The main advantage of the 94% grade is that it provides a higher-purity and more stable raw material base for high-performance formulations.
Compliance cannot be determined based solely on SiO₂ content. To confirm compliance with ASTM C1240, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate test results such as moisture content, loss on ignition, 45-μm sieve residue, and pozzolanic activity index. When purchasing, please refer to the Certificate of Analysis (COA) and relevant test reports provided by MSILI for the corresponding batch.
