APPLICATION & CLASSIFICATION
OF SILICA POWDER

Silica Powder is by natural quartz (SiO₂) or fused quartz (natural quartz by high temperature melting, cooling amorphous SiO₂) after crushing, ball milling (or vibration, airflow grinding), flotation, pickling purification, high purity water treatment and other multi-channel processing and into the powder. Silica Powder is a kind of non-toxic, tasteless, pollution-free inorganic non-metallic material. Because it has good temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, poor thermal conductivity, high insulation, low expansion, stable chemical performance, high hardness and other excellent properties, is widely used in chemical industry, electronics, integrated circuit (IC), electrical appliances, plastics, coatings, senior paint, rubber, national defense and other fields. With the rapid development of high technology, silica powder will enter a new historical development period.

CLASSIFICATION BY USE

It can be divided into: silica powder for paint coating, silica powder for epoxy floor, silica powder for rubber, silica powder for sealant, silica powder for electronic grade and electrical grade plastic sealing material, silica powder for precision ceramics.

Silica Powders for copper clad plates

Silica Powder with acid and alkali corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high insulation, high thermal conductivity, high thermal stability, low expansion coefficient, low dielectric coefficient of excellent performance, so in the copper clad plate industry is increasingly widely used.
