Function of Silicon dioxide powder:
- Structural support and reinforcement: providing mechanical support for materials and enhancing wear resistance and impact resistance.
- Adsorption and purification: The porous structure can adsorb water, gases, or impurities.
- High-temperature resistance and insulation: High-temperature resistance and excellent electrical insulation properties make it suitable for high-temperature environments and electronic insulation applications.
- Anti-caking and rheology modification: Silicon dioxide powder can reduce particle agglomeration, improving the flowability and stability of fluids.
- Optical and catalytic: High transparency makes it suitable for optical devices; nano-sized particles can serve as catalyst carriers to enhance reaction efficiency.
Application of Silicon dioxide powder:
- Silica is used in the production of flat glass and specialty glass.
- Silicon dioxide serves as a filler and auxiliary material in coatings and building materials.
- Silicon dioxide powder can used as a fluxing agent in steel smelting to remove impurities.
- SiO2 is manufactured into sandpaper and grinding wheels for metal and wood grinding and polishing.
- Silicon dioxide powder is mixed into dental resin for dental filling materials.
- Silica can be used as a filler to enhance the hardness and impact resistance of plastics, used in automotive components, appliance housings, etc.
- High-purity silica is used in the production of refractory bricks and ceramic crucibles, capable of withstanding high-temperature furnace environments; it is also used in semiconductor chip packaging materials, electronic tube housings, and other electronic insulating materials.
- Porous SiO2 gel is used for moisture-proof drying in food, pharmaceuticals, and electronic products; it can also adsorb harmful gases from industrial exhaust gases.
- Adding nano-silica to tire materials improves wear resistance, aging resistance, and reduces rolling resistance; it can also serve as a catalyst carrier in chemical synthesis reactions.
- Silicon dioxide powder is used in telescope lenses, spectrometer prisms, and optical fiber cores (optical signal transmission carriers) for fiber optic communications.
- Food-grade Silicon dioxide powder is used as an anti-caking agent in powdered foods such as infant formula, protein powder, and spices.
- High-temperature-resistant silica fibers are used as thermal insulation materials in spacecraft to withstand extreme temperatures.
- Modified SiO2 can adsorb heavy metal ions or oil contaminants from water and is used in wastewater treatment.
