1. What is Nano Silicon Oxide (SiO₂) Powder?
Nano Silicon Oxide (SiO₂) Powder is silica manufactured with particles in the nanometer range. The small particle size provides high surface area and allows the material's surface and interfacial properties to be tailored for advanced applications.
2. What is Nano SiO₂ used for?
Nano silica is used in advanced composites, coatings, ceramics, electronics, semiconductor research, adhesives, polymers, catalyst supports, sensors, and nanotechnology applications.
3. What particle sizes are available?
REG Metals can source nano SiO₂ with particle sizes generally ranging from approximately 10–100 nm, as well as other customized nanoscale distributions depending on the manufacturing method.
4. Is Nano SiO₂ available in spherical morphology?
Yes. Both spherical and irregular silica nanoparticles can be sourced. Spherical grades are particularly useful when controlled packing, dispersion, and surface-area characteristics are important.
5. Can Nano Silicon Oxide be surface treated?
Yes. Hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and functionalized silica nanoparticles can be sourced with customized surface chemistry for compatibility with polymers, coatings, composites, and other matrices.
6. Does REG Metals provide a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) can be supplied documenting SiO₂ purity, particle size, particle-size distribution, morphology, specific surface area, moisture, surface treatment, trace-metal impurities, and other applicable specifications.
