Silicon Metal Powder

98% -  99.999% pure

Silicon Metal is also largely used by the fine-chemical and aluminum industries, and has become a vital material in thousands of industrial and consumer goods. Higher purity Silicon Metal has also become an indispensable component for the solar energy and high-speed communication industries. In addition to reaction bonded ceramic parts, silicones, stronger and lighter weight aluminums, solar cells, and electronic semiconductors are all major end products of Silicon Metal.

Applications: Silicon metal powder is widely used in refractories, powder metallurgy industry, in order to improve the high temperature, abrasion and oxidation resistance. Its products are widely used in steel-making furnaces, kilns, kiln furniture. In organic silicon chemical industry, metal powder is the basic raw material of the silicone polymer synthesis, such as for the production of silicon monomers, silicone oil, silicone rubber, preservatives, so as to improve the heat resistance, electrical insulation properties, corrosion resistance, waterproofing other characteristics. Industrial silicon powder made by pulling monocrystalline silicon processed is widely used in high-tech fields, integrated circuits, electronic components essential raw materials. The metallurgical foundry industry, silicon metal powder as a non-iron-based alloy additives, silicon steel alloy agent, and thus to improve the steel hardenability. Industrial silicon powder can also be applied to some metal reducing agent for the new ceramic alloy. Silicon metal powder is mainly used for the basic raw material of silicone polymer materials (such as silicon, trichlorosilane, silicon, etc.).
