Spherical quartz powder Spherical SiO2 Properties

What is Spherical quartz powder Spherical SiO2 ?

 

Spherical quartz powder has excellent properties such as a smooth surface, large specific surface area, high hardness, and stable chemical properties:


The spherical powder fluidity is good, and the resin is stirred into a film evenly. The resin addition amount is small, the filling amount of quartz powder is high, and the mass fraction is up to 90.5%. The higher the filling amount of quartz powder, the lower the thermal conductivity, the smaller the thermal expansion coefficient of plastic sealing material, and the closer to the thermal expansion coefficient of monocrystalline silicon, the better the performance of the electronic components produced.


The stress of the spherical powder is only 60% of that of the angular powder, and the plastic sealing material made from the spherical quartz powder has the lowest stress concentration and strength.


The surface of the spherical powder is smooth, the friction coefficient is small, the wear of the mold is small, and the mold's service life can be extended more than once.

How is Spherical quartz powder Spherical SiO2 produced?

Chemical vapor deposition technique: Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used extensively to prepare spherical silicon. The principle of this method is to mix silicon source gas (such as silicon tetrachloride, silane, etc.) and hydrogen gas and heat to high temperature so that silicon atoms in the reaction chamber to vaporize and form silica particles. The size and morphology of spherical silicon can be altered by controlling the flow rate and the reaction temperature between silicon and hydrogen source gas. The resulting silica particles continuously collide and condense in the reaction chamber, forming spherical silica particles. Multiple deposition and heat treatment processes are required to obtain high-purity and high-density spherical silica.


Combustion method: Combustion is another common method for preparing spherical silica. The principle of this method is to mix the silicon source (such as silicon powder, sodium silicate, etc.) with the fuel (such as gasoline, kerosene, etc.) and heat it to high temperature so that the silicon source burns and releases a large amount of silica gas. The silica gas rapidly cools during combustion and condenses into spherical silica particles. The particle size and morphology of spherical silica can be adjusted by controlling the combustion temperature and atmosphere. Several washing and heat treatment processes are required to obtain high-purity spherical silica.


Ion exchange method: Ion exchange method is a method for preparing high-purity spherical silica. The principle of the method is to use the ion exchanger to carry out the ion exchange reaction with the solution containing silicon ions. The silicon ions are precipitated in silicon dioxide through filtration, washing, drying, and other processes to obtain spherical silicon dioxide products. Commonly used ion exchangers include zeolite, activated carbon, and so on. The particle size and morphology of spherical silica can be adjusted by controlling the type and dosage of the ion exchanger.


In addition, spherical silica prepared by different methods may also differ in performance and application. For example, the spherical silica prepared by chemical vapor deposition has higher purity but smaller particle size; The spherical silica prepared by combustion method has larger particle size but lower purity. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to select suitable spherical silica preparation methods and performance characteristics according to specific needs and actual conditions.

Is SiO2 Polar or Nonpolar?

SiO2 (silicon dioxide) is generally considered a polar material. This is because the oxygen atoms in SiO2 have a higher electronegativity than the silicon atom, leading to an uneven distribution of charge and the formation of polar covalent bonds. However, the overall structure of SiO2, particularly in its crystalline forms like quartz, can be highly symmetric, which can sometimes mask its polarity at a macroscopic level.

Is SiO2 Ionic or Covalent?

SiO2 is primarily a covalent compound. The bonds between silicon and oxygen in SiO2 are covalent, meaning that electrons are shared between the atoms rather than transferred completely as in ionic compounds. The strong covalent bonds give SiO2 its high melting point and hardness. While there is some ionic character due to the difference in electronegativity between silicon and oxygen, the dominant bonding type is covalent.


Density of Silica Powder
The density of silica (SiO2) powder typically ranges from 2.2 g/cm³ to 2.65 g/cm³, depending on the specific form and processing conditions. For precise applications, always check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact density of the product.


Nano Silica Powder
Nano silica powder, or nano SiO2, is used in advanced applications such as drug delivery, catalysis, and as a reinforcing agent in composites. It improves the mechanical, thermal, and optical properties of materials, making it valuable in industries like electronics, construction, and healthcare.

 

Spherical SiO2 Powder Uses

FAQs of Spherical quartz powder Spherical SiO2:

 

Q: What is spherical quartz powder used for?

A: Spherical quartz powder, also known as spherical SiO₂, finds extensive use across various industries due to its unique properties. In the electronics sector, it serves as an excellent filler material in epoxy molding compounds and encapsulants for semiconductors, enhancing thermal stability and reducing stress on components. In cosmetics and personal care products, spherical SiO₂ contributes to the smooth texture and enhanced spreadability of formulations such as foundations and powders. It is also utilized in the manufacturing of high-performance coatings and paints, where its spherical shape improves flowability and reduces settling. Additionally, this material plays a crucial role in 3D printing applications, providing superior packing density and print quality. Its low refractive index makes it suitable for optical applications, including lenses and fiber optics.


Q: Is spherical quartz powder safe for humans?

A: Spherical quartz powder is generally considered safe for use in various applications when handled properly. Studies have shown that exposure to fine particles of quartz can cause respiratory irritation; however, the spherical form tends to have less risk compared to angular forms due to its smooth surface, which can reduce the potential for lung irritation. When using spherical SiO₂ in cosmetics or other consumer products, adherence to recommended concentration limits and good manufacturing practices ensures safety. During handling, precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation of dust particles and contact with eyes. Personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety glasses, and respiratory protection, can ensure safe handling. For specific applications, especially those involving prolonged skin contact or ingestion, consulting relevant safety data sheets and regulatory guidelines is advisable.


Q: What is the formula of spherical quartz powder?

A: Spherical quartz powder has the chemical formula SiO₂, indicating that it consists of silicon atoms (Si) and oxygen atoms (O). The term "spherical" refers to the particle morphology rather than a change in chemical composition. This form of silica is characterized by its nearly perfect spherical shape, which distinguishes it from irregularly shaped quartz powders. The spherical morphology provides several advantages, including improved flowability, reduced abrasiveness, and better dispersion in formulations. Silica exists in various crystalline and amorphous forms, but spherical SiO₂ typically exhibits an amorphous structure, contributing to its favorable properties for industrial applications.


Q: Is spherical quartz powder safe in skincare?

A: Spherical quartz powder is safe for use in skincare products provided it is used within specified concentration limits and good manufacturing practices are followed. Due to its smooth spherical shape, it minimizes the risk of skin irritation that might be associated with angular particles. Spherical SiO₂ is non-toxic and non-sensitizing, making it suitable for incorporation into cosmetic formulations. It enhances the texture of skincare products, providing a silky feel and improving application. Moreover, its ability to reflect light can contribute to a more even skin appearance, making it valuable in makeup products designed to provide a flawless finish. Importantly, all ingredients in skincare products should undergo rigorous testing to confirm they meet safety standards before being marketed.
