Product Introduction
Silica Sol for Fire Resistant Glass
Manufacturer: ANDEHU NEW MATERIALS (SHANDONG) CO., LTD
1. Product Overview
Silica sol for fire resistant glass is a stable aqueous dispersion of nano-silica, and the most widely used core raw material for grouted fire glass. Leveraging technical accumulation in silicon materials, Shandong Zhonglian Chemical produces a full range of silica sol products with varying particle sizes and concentrations via a combined ion exchange and silicon powder dissolution process, fully adapting to diverse production needs in the fire glass industry.
Compared with traditional water glass (sodium silicate) systems, silica sol based fire glass offers significant advantages including no alkali efflorescence, high transparency, excellent weather resistance and stable fire performance, and has become the standard configuration for medium and high-end fire glass products. The product can be customized to match customer formulas and process characteristics, helping enterprises improve product quality and reduce overall production costs.
2. Product Classification and Characteristics
2.1 By Particle Size
Small particle size silica sol (10~30nm): Large specific surface area, high reactivity and fast curing, suitable for thin fast-curing fire glass with high production efficiency
Medium particle size silica sol (40~80nm): Balanced overall performance, good storage stability and strong versatility, the mainstream choice for 1.0~1.5h fire resistance rating
Large particle size silica sol (90~120nm): High post-curing density, excellent thermal shock resistance and structural strength, suitable for products with fire resistance rating above 2.0h
2.2 By Solid Content
Regular grade (30%~40%): High cost performance and transportation economy, suitable for long-distance distribution and large inventory, ideal for small and medium-sized fire glass manufacturers
High concentration grade (45%~55%): High solid content, low curing shrinkage and excellent fire resistance, suitable for high-end fire glass and high fire resistance rating production
2.3 By Modification Type
General alkaline type: pH 9.0~10.5, good storage stability, compatible with most fire glass formulas with strong versatility
Surface modified type: Modified with silane coupling agent, offering higher bonding strength and better water resistance, suitable for high weather resistance requirements and outdoor applications
3. Fire Protection Mechanism
Silica sol provides multi-layer protection in fire glass, building a fire barrier through physical and chemical changes:
1.Endothermic Cooling: Water evaporation absorbs large amounts of latent heat, effectively delaying temperature rise on the unexposed surface and buying time for evacuation
2.Thermal Insulation Barrier: The cured silica gel layer has extremely low thermal conductivity, acting as an excellent thermal insulator and greatly reducing heat transfer efficiency
3.Structural Support: The ceramized layer formed at high temperature has certain mechanical strength, supporting the glass against collapse and maintaining fire separation integrity
4.Smoke Suppression & Non-toxicity: All-inorganic composition generates no smoke or toxic gas during combustion, ensuring personnel safety during fire evacuation
Experimental data shows that 12mm thick fire glass made with premium silica sol has an average unexposed surface temperature rise 10~15℃ lower than traditional water glass systems in 800℃ fire resistance tests, with significantly improved fire stability and service life.
4. Production and Application Process
Typical Process Flow of Pouring Type Fire Glass
1.Fire Resistant Liquid Preparation: Weigh silica sol, curing agent (KOH/NaOH solution), defoamer and additives according to formula, mix uniformly at low speed in a stirring tank
2.Vacuum Degassing: Place the prepared liquid in a vacuum degassing tank, degas at -0.09MPa for 1~2 hours until no obvious bubbles rise
3.Glass Assembly: Form a cavity between two clean dry glass substrates with sealing strips, reserving pouring and exhaust ports
4.Pressure Pouring: Inject the fire resistant liquid into the cavity by pressure pouring, seal the port after filling to ensure no residual bubbles
5.Curing Molding: Send to curing kiln for gradient curing according to set temperature curve, total process takes about 12~24 hours
6.Post-treatment: Edge trimming, cleaning, inspection and packaging after curing
