What is Microlite®?

Microlite® is formed during the production of ferrosilicon or silicon metal. Microlite® consists of microsilica - an extremely fine, amorphous type of silicon dioxide. After further processing, Microlite is produced as a liquid, or as a powder. It can be delivered in 25-kg sacks in the powdered form, and 200-litres drums or 1000-litres containers in the liquid form.

The silicon dioxide in Microlite® is present in an amorphous, non-crystalline state. Microlite® is for this reason considered non-hazardous to health.
