Product Overview

Consistent reactivity without sacrificing dispersion

A 98% SiO₂ undensified silica fume engineered for high-purity UHPC, advanced castables and GRC/GFRC. 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 (240–400 kg/m³). Ask MSILI to match the grade to your binder, dosage and process before scale-up.

FAQ

Packaging, Loading and Shipping FAQ

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

Where is SF-98 silica fume used?

98% serves high-purity UHPC, advanced castables and GRC/GFRC, including purity-sensitive UHPC, advanced castables, GRC/GFRC and functional composites.

Why choose SF-98 instead of another silica-fume grade?

The very low impurity load is valuable in cement-free or ultra-low-cement refractories, where low-melting phases can undermine high-temperature structure; relevant systems may be evaluated up to about 1700°C.

What does undensified SF-98 mean for transport and mixing?

Undensified here means controlled physical agglomeration, not a chemical binder. With a bulk density of 240–400 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-98?

Optimise particle packing and dispersant demand in the full formulation. For GRC/GFRC and composites, also check fibre wetting, surface finish, shrinkage and dimensional stability.

Which specifications should be checked before buying SF-98?

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.

Can MSILI supply samples and export packaging for SF-98?

Yes. Samples and small bags are available for laboratory trials; bulk bags, liners, pallets, shipping marks and batch documents can be matched to the production method and destination.
