Microcrystalline Silica
Mineral: Micro-crystalline Silica
In APAC and US, Sibelco’s micro-crystalline silica products are used in epoxy compunds for dry transformers.
Microcrystalline silica is made from alpha-quartz, a polymorph of quartz in which the crystals are small to the extent that they are only visible under high magnification.
For further information on microcrystalline silica please visit the page of the tool with the name “Quartz”.
