Acquiring the technical knowledge of manufacturing different grades of nano silica with the ability to be used in industries

However, the range of use of this substance is not limited to this area and it is used in areas such as paint, catalyst and water purification.
He called the other produced product “precipitated silica” and added: The components of these materials are nanometer, but they stick together and create micron structures. This powder is used in cosmetics industry, tire filler, antiblocks and matting, and the industrial production of this material will start soon.

Saying that our next goal is to produce hydrophobic precipitated silica, Kerami said: Our current product is hydrophilic precipitated silica, but in some applications, hydrophobic properties are needed.

According to the technical director of this company, silica is used as a widely used precursor in many industrial applications, such as in the construction industry to increase the durability and strength of concrete, improve the performance of cement and strengthen the ground, in the casting industry to increase precision, strength , safety and reliability are used in the foundry industry such as precision casting and refractories and in the polishing industry to create smooth and nearly flawless surfaces on silicon semiconductors, sapphire wafers and optical lenses.

Silica is also used in the lamination industry for wood coating, wear-resistant coatings, insulating and inorganic coatings, non-stick coatings, paper industry, inkjet and photography, pigments and fillers, plastic films, protective and decorative coatings.
