Fumed Silica_Leading local media on chemical materials, nano-ma
  • Fumed silica is also known as pyrogenic silica because it is produced in flame pyrolysis of silicon tetrachloride or from quartz sand vaporized in a 3000 °C electric arc. Fumed Silica consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chainlike, three-dimensional secondary particles, agglomerating into tertiary particles. The resulting powder has an extremely low bulk density of 2.5-11.8 lbs/ft3 (40–190 kg/m3), a primary particle size of 5–50 nm (smaller than the average p Fumed silica is a universal thickening agent and an anticaking agent (free-flow agent) in powders. Like silica gel, it serves as a desiccant. It is used in cosmetics for its light-diffusing properties. It is used as a light abrasive in products like toothpaste. Other uses include filler in silicone elastomer and viscosity adjustment in paints, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, and unsaturated polyester resins. It is also used in producing cat litter box fillers and as a core material in produc Fumed silica is an artificial substance, so it’s no surprise that it’s known by multiple names—Diatomaceous earth, Diatomaceous silica, Diatomite, Silicon dioxide (amorphous), and Vitreous silica, at least. In fact, before 1989, its official name was silica (amorphous). Today, however, industry and regulators tend to call the substance fumed silica—not to be confused with silica fume, which is an industrial byproduct quite different from fumed silica. Fumed silica is a beneficial industrial chem The benefits of fumed silica and silica fume in the manufacturing and construction industries are well known. While the two terms seem similar, the products have apparent differences. Unfortunately, most people use the terms interchangeably. Here is everything you need to know about fumed silica and silica fume. Fumed silica or pyrogenic silica is a multi-purpose silica-based additive commonly used to manipulate viscosity and rheology and enhance the functionality of existing polymer matrices. I What is Fumed Silica?Fumed Silica is a form of silicon dioxide, or silicon, with the molecular formula SiO2 and a molecular weight of 60.0843 g/mol. Fumed silica is also known as pyrogenic silica. It is an odorless white powder consisting of droplets of fused silica cooled by forming three-dimensional chains.

Characteristics and Challenges of Fumed Silica

What is Fumed silica?Fumed silica (pyrogenic silica and silicon dioxide) is one of the lightest substances known. Fumed silicas are very light and fluffy and have bulk densities of 3 lbs/cu ft (38 kg/cu m). Silicon metals and alloys are produced in electric furnaces. The raw materials include quartz, coal, and wood chips. The smoke from the furnace operation is collected and sold as fumed silica. Depending on the processing, fumed silica may be used as a hydrophilic or a hydroponic. From sidewal

Fumed Silica Based Ultra High Purity Synthetic Quartz Powder via Sol Gel Process

Fumed silica-based ultra-high-purity synthetic quartz powder was developed via the sol–gel process to apply to quartz wares and quartz crucibles for use in advanced semiconductor processes. The process conditions of preparing potassium silicate solution, gelation, and cleaning were optimized, i.e., the relative ratio of fumed silica (10 wt%) to KOH (4 wt%) for potassium silicate gelation time of three h and cleaning for one h with five wt% HCl solution. It was observed that the gelation time str
