The listed HC grades are representative candidates for concrete and cementitious trials, not universal admixtures. Confirm cement chemistry, water demand, setting, workability, strength and surface performance through testing.

Concrete Formulation Selection

Balance Silica Solids, Particle Size and Water

40±1% SiO₂

Fine-Particle 40% Candidate

HC4010 combines 40±1% SiO₂ with 10–15 nm particles for cementitious or surface-treatment trials requiring finer nanosilica.

40±1% SiO₂

Larger-Particle 40% Candidate

HC4020 provides 40±1% SiO₂ with 20–30 nm particles for comparative dispersion, packing and processing evaluation.

50±1% SiO₂

Higher-Solids 50% Candidate

HC5020 provides 50±1% SiO₂ with 20–30 nm particles where limiting added liquid is a formulation target.

Qualification Required

Test the Complete Cementitious System

Verify dispersion, slump or flow, air content, setting, shrinkage, strength, curing and surface performance.

Specification Confirmation

Information Needed for Concrete Evaluation

Define the cementitious composition, application method and performance targets before selecting a colloidal silica candidate.

  • Cementitious system: identify cement, supplementary materials, aggregates, fillers and water-to-binder ratio.
  • Application: specify concrete admixture, surface treatment, repair mortar, overlay, precast or another use.
  • Addition requirement: provide the target SiO₂ content, particle size, sodium limit and dosage basis.
  • Performance targets: state workability, setting, strength, shrinkage, permeability, abrasion and surface requirements.
  • Quality requirements: provide the test method, certificate requirements and acceptance limits.
  • Order details: include 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

Colloidal Silica for Concrete Questions

Which colloidal silica grades can be evaluated for concrete?

Representative high-solids candidates include HC4010, HC4020 and HC5020. Final selection depends on the cementitious formulation and application.

Why evaluate colloidal silica in concrete formulations?

It provides dispersed nanoscale silica in water and can be assessed for surface or cementitious formulation effects. Actual results depend on dosage, mixing and curing.

Which concrete properties should be tested?

Test dispersion, workability, air content, setting, shrinkage, compressive strength, abrasion, absorption, permeability and appearance.

Can particle size be customized?

Yes. Particle size is identified as customizable and should be confirmed with the target value, tolerance and test method.

How should colloidal silica for concrete use be stored?

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

Applications

Applications of Colloidal Silica for Concrete

High-solids colloidal silica can be evaluated in compatible concrete and cementitious systems. Qualification must use the actual cement, aggregates, admixtures, application method and curing conditions.

Concrete Surface Treatments

Evaluated in compatible surface-treatment systems after penetration, appearance, abrasion and slip-related effects are verified.

Cementitious Coatings

Suitable grades can be tested in mineral coating formulations requiring controlled aqueous nanosilica.

Repair Mortars and Overlays

Candidates can be qualified for flow, adhesion, setting, shrinkage and strength in compatible repair systems.

Precast Concrete

Evaluated where controlled mixing, molding, curing, surface quality and early handling strength are required.

High-Performance Concrete

Can be assessed in trial mixes after compatibility with superplasticizers, supplementary materials and curing is confirmed.

Custom Cementitious Formulations

Supports trials requiring selected silica solids, particle size, pH, alkali limit and dosage rate.
