Micron Silica – A pure natural crystalline mineral
Natural Silica or silicon dioxide is one of the most common minerals in the earth’s crust. The natural silica is crystalline mineral with varied forms. Micron Silica is a grade name of Silica series, manufactured by 20 Microns Limited.
MICRONSIL is high purity natural crystalline silica. This micronized ground silica is inherently bright, white, low in moisture & inert by nature and the hardness of silica mineral yields improved burnish resistance and durability.
Specific Properties – Micron Silica:
- Micron Sil is ultra-pure natural crystalline silica
- The micronized ground silica is inherently bright, white, low in moisture and inert by nature
- The hardness feature makes Silica improve burnish resistance and durability
- Other important features of Silica include low resin demand, anti-foaming properties and sheen control
Other important properties of this silica mineral include low resin demand, anti-foaming properties and sheen control. It is used in paints, industrial Cement flooring, Epoxy flooring etc. |

Paints & Powder Coatings |
| |
Micron Sil renders Paint more resistant to chemical attack because of its acid resistance. |
| |
The addition of Micron Sil can also aid tint retention, durability and flow ability of the end products. |
|
| |
|
Plastics |
| |
The heat resistance, low thermal expansion, chemical resistance and high dielectric strength of Micron Sil make it an excellent filler choice for a variety of Thermoset plastic applications |
| |
Micron Sil is an excellent semi-reinforcing filler. |
| |
The consistent pH and narrow size distributions allow very high loading with minimal effect on viscosity and cure rate. |
|
| |
|
Electrical Insulation |
| |
Micron Sil improves insulation properties, mechanical properties, dielectric strength, and have low resin demand. |
