Product Overview

WALLGRIP MICROSILICA® is a dry silica fume powder used in cementitious systems to improve the properties and performance of high-performance concrete and specialised mortar formulations.

It supports concrete performance in two ways:

  • Physically: optimises particle packing in the mix
  • Chemically: acts as a highly reactive pozzolan
Available Grades
  • Undensified (U): typical bulk density 200–350 kg/m³
  • Densified (D): typical bulk density 500–700 kg/m³

This page focuses on the Densified grade (D).

Where It's Used

Ideal for concrete applications where long-term durability and performance are critical especially infrastructure works.

Metro & Tunnel Concrete Works

High-durability concrete lining for underground transit and tunnel infrastructure.

Piles / Deep Foundation

Concrete Performance concrete for deep foundation elements requiring long-term structural integrity.

Raft Foundations Heavy-duty structural pours

demanding impermeability and compressive strength.

Specialised Mortar Formulations

Improves performance of specialty mortar systems for infrastructure applications.

Key Benefits

Enhanced Concrete Performance

Improves properties and performance of high-performance concrete and specialised mortars for durability-led structures.

Dual-Action Mechanism

Works as a particle packing improver (fills micro void behaviour) and a reactive pozzolan (performance contribution).

Targeted Engineering Outcomes

Helps engineers target strength, durability and impermeability objectives in durability-led structures.
