Jan 16, 2014Recently, concrete contractors have started using a colloidal silica-based compound as a finishing (or 'troweling') aid for flatwork. Troweled into the surface as the slab is being placed and finished, it increases the efficiency of cement hydration—the chemical reactions that harden concrete—in the surface layer.

This sand is often used when making concrete, because of the shape of the grains. As a result, it binds very well, but also delivers a tough finish and hard surface. Therefore, when it comes to bricklaying, sharp sand is often not the sand of choice. When laying bricks, the mortar needs to be relatively flexible and pliable.

Silica sand is an important ingredient in the manufacture of glass. It is an essential part of many glassmaking processes, since it is a source of silicon dioxide. The properties of glass depend on the purity of the silica sand used. Silica sand is also a primary component of specialty cements, mortars, and asphalt mixtures.

Apr 01, 1985Addition of microsilica to a concrete mix alters the cement paste structure. The resulting paste contains more of the strong calcium-silicate hydrates and less of the weak and easily soluble calcium hydroxides than do ordinary cement pastes. Because the microsilica particles are so small they disperse among and separate the cement particles.
