    Microsil 90 Grigio

    Microsil 90 Grigio consists of high purity (greater than 90%) silica fumes , selected, processed and bagged. Silica fume, the only component of Microsil 90 Grigio, is created spontaneously during the production of silicon steel (special and limited production). For all intents and purposes, therefore, silica fume is nothing more than particles of SiO₂ released during machining processes of silicon metal and iron-silicon alloys, in the form of very fine powder with vitreous structure (amorphous silica at 90-95%).

    These micro-granules, purified and selected, have a variable size between 0.01 and 1 μm, therefore much finer than cement granules, and are characterised by very high pozzolanic reactivity. Silica fume has been used now for over than 40 years all over the world for the fundamental improvement of rheological and performance characteristics of concretes, mortars and special plasters where they are introduced.

    Fields of application
    Production of sulphate-resistant, sulphate-resistant, anti-leaching mortars, plasters, grouts and concretes , high performance in terms of watertightness, mechanical resistance, chemical resistance etc., in the realisation of civil engineering and hydraulic structures and works in marine, mountain, urban atmospheres etc.
    Allowed supports
    Plasters
    Concrete
    Cement-based or lime-based mortars
    Mode of use
    Microsil 90 Grigio must be poured into a concrete mixer subsequently to other solid components of the mixture: cement and aggregates. After mixing for about 30 - 45" add the mixing water, where possible with the addition of Fluid S, continue to mix until a strictly homogeneous mixture is obtained. Prepare test mixtures in order to determine the most suitable mix.

    The concretes, the mortars, grouts etc. will have to be characterised by high values of intrinsic waterproofing, resistance to sulphates, chlorides, to anti-leaching waters, etc., for this purpose the mix design will provide for the addition of MICROSIL 90 by AZICHEM srl, by reason of ....... % with respect to the weight of the cement. To restore the necessary workability, the specific superlubricant Fluid S by AZICHEM srl must also be provided, dosed by reason of 1% on the sum of the weight of binders and of MICROSIL 90 by AZICHEM srl.
