These representative published grades use different stabilizing directions and alkali limits. Confirm the counter-ion, analytical basis and complete specification before selecting an equivalent alkaline grade.

Stabilizer Selection

Choose the Alkaline Chemistry First

Potassium

K₂O-Controlled Direction

P3010 provides a published potassium-stabilized option with 30±1% SiO₂ and pH 9–10.

Low Sodium

Three Na₂O Limits

LA3010A, B and C share core physical parameters while offering Na₂O limits of 0.01%, 0.05% and 0.1%.

Ammonium

Multiple Concentrations and Sizes

AM grades provide 30% or 40% SiO₂ options with 10–15 nm or 20–30 nm particle ranges.

Custom Alkaline

Confirm Counter-Ion Compatibility

The stabilizer, pH, ionic strength and impurity profile must be compatible with the complete formulation.

Specification Confirmation

Information Needed for Alkaline Grade Selection

Provide the counter-ion requirement and all related physical, chemical and quality limits.

  • Stabilizer direction: specify sodium, low-sodium, potassium, ammonium or another alkaline system.
  • Alkali limit: state the permitted Na₂O, K₂O or other counter-ion concentration and test basis.
  • Core parameters: provide SiO₂ content, particle size, pH, density and viscosity targets.
  • Compatibility: list acids, salts, binders, pigments, surfactants and other formulation components.
  • Quality requirements: include analytical methods, certificate requirements and acceptance limits.
  • Order details: provide trial quantity, annual demand, packaging and destination country.

Packaging and Storage

Protect Product Stability During Storage

Packaging Options

Available polyethylene packaging sizes are 25 kg, 250 kg and 1000 kg.

Storage Temperature

Store at 0–40°C and protect from freezing. Temperatures below 0°C can cause irreversible gelation.

Direct Sunlight

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during storage and transportation.

Container Closure

Keep containers closed to limit water evaporation and precipitation of solid silica particles.

FAQ

Alkaline Colloidal Silica Purchasing Questions

What makes colloidal silica alkaline?

The dispersion is stabilized in an alkaline pH range using an appropriate counter-ion system.

Which alkaline stabilization directions are available?

Published product families include potassium, low-sodium and ammonium-stabilized grades.

Are alkaline grades interchangeable?

No. Counter-ion chemistry, alkali content, pH, concentration and particle size can affect compatibility and performance.

Which pH ranges are published for the listed grades?

The representative listed grades have published pH ranges of 8–10 or 9–10.

How should alkaline colloidal silica be stored?

Store it at 0–40°C, prevent freezing and direct sunlight, and keep the container closed.

Applications

Applications of Alkaline Colloidal Silica

The correct alkaline grade depends on counter-ion chemistry, alkali limit, pH, particle size and formulation compatibility.

Alkaline Coating Systems

Evaluated in compatible water-based coatings where an alkaline silica dispersion is required.

Inorganic Binder Formulations

Selected grades can be assessed as nanosilica binders in compatible mineral and ceramic systems.

Paper Surface Treatment

Low-sodium or alternative-stabilized grades may be evaluated in compatible paper formulations.

Textile Processing

Alkaline grades can be tested with compatible sizing polymers, starches and textile auxiliaries.

Catalyst Carrier Preparation

Controlled-alkali grades may serve as silica sources or binders where impurity limits are defined.

Custom Alkaline Formulations

Supports projects requiring a specified counter-ion, pH, particle size and silica concentration.
