A mineral admixture, silica fume is composed of submicron particles (100 to 150 times smaller than a grain of cement) of amorphous silicon dioxide. Whenever silica fume is used in cementitious applications such as concrete, shotcrete, repair products, and oil well grouts, silica fume acts as both a filler and a pozzolan.
