Acidic Colloidal Silica

Acidic Colloidal Silica

Acidic silica sol is a stable colloidal dispersion of amorphous nano‑silica (SiO₂) particles in water, formulated to maintain a pH of 2–4. By combining controlled ion‑exchange processing with precise particle‑size engineering, our acidic colloidal silica delivers a narrow particle‑size distribution, exceptional dispersion stability, and low impurity levels, making it the preferred choice for applications where alkaline silica sols cannot be used.
Manufactured under rigorous quality control, our acidic silica sol is engineered for high‑performance applications, including chemical mechanical planarization,catalyst supports, functional coatings, precision investment casting, refractory binders.

Shandong Peak-tech New Material Co., Ltd. is one of the most reliable manufacturers and suppliers of acidic colloidal silica in China. With a professional production team, we are able to meet the needs of the majority of our customers. Welcome to buy durable acidic colloidal silica for sale here from our factory.

Acidic Colloidal Silica Grade Comparison

Model Particle Size SiO₂ Content Na₂O Content pH Shelf Life
HA2005 7–10 nm 20±1% ≤0.2% 2–4 ≥12 months
HA3010 10–15 nm 30±1% ≤0.2% 2–4 ≥12 months
HA3510 10–15 nm 35±1% ≤0.2% 2–4 ≥12 months
HA3020 20–30 nm 30±1% ≤0.2% 2–4 ≥12 months
HP2510A 10–20 nm 21–25% ≤0.01% 2–4 ≥12 months
HP4010A 10–20 nm 38–40% ≤0.01% 2–4 ≥12 months

HP2510A and HP4010A are low-metal grades. Final specification limits should be confirmed before sampling or ordering.

Grade Selection

Select by Solids, Particle Size and Metal-Ion Limit

7–10 nm

HA2005

Fine-particle grade with 20±1% SiO₂ for processes requiring lower solids and a smaller particle range.

10–15 nm

HA3010 and HA3510

Two solids options at 30±1% and 35±1% while retaining the same published particle-size range.

20–30 nm

HA3020

Larger-particle HA grade with 30±1% SiO₂ for application trials requiring a different surface-area profile.

Na₂O ≤0.01%

HP2510A and HP4010A

Low-metal options with either 21–25% or 38–40% SiO₂ for processes with tighter impurity requirements.

Grade Confirmation

Information Needed for a Grade Recommendation

All six grades are supplied at pH 2–4, but they differ in particle size, silica concentration and sodium limit. Confirm these values together with the required quality limits before ordering.

  • Solids requirement: state the required SiO₂ content in the supplied grade.
  • Particle size: specify the target particle-size range.
  • Metal-ion limit: confirm whether a standard HA grade or low-metal HP grade is required.
  • Required pH: confirm that the specified pH range of 2–4 is acceptable.
  • Order details: provide the trial quantity, annual demand and preferred packaging.
  • Quality limits: include the inspection method and acceptance criteria used for qualification.
