Synthetic Spherical Silica

SiO₂ ≥99.995% · spheroidization ≥99% · U/Th <0.1 ppb — chemically synthesized spherical silica, custom D50 20 nm–2 µm

Synthetic Spherical Silica consists of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) particles produced by chemical synthesis, with a perfectly spherical shape and tightly matched particle size. SiO₂ purity is held at ≥99.995%, spheroidization and sphericity are each ≥99.0%, and uranium (U) and thorium (Th) are each below 0.1 ppb, making it an ultra-low-radioactivity material. Electrical conductivity below 1.0 µS/cm reflects extremely low ionic impurities, ideal for reliability-critical electronic materials such as semiconductor packaging. Particle size (D50) is produced to customer requirements anywhere from 20 nm to 2 µm, and the surface can be modified with amino or mercapto groups or given a hydrophobic treatment with a contact angle above 150°. On request it is also supplied as electronic-grade 6N silica sol in water-based or custom solvent-based form, for CMP polishing, coatings and resin hybrids.

Key Features

  • 🔵 Perfect Spheres · Spheroidization ≥99.0% — Sphericity and spheroidization both ≥99.0% — uniform spheres that disperse evenly without agglomeration
  • 🧪 Ultra-High Purity SiO₂ ≥99.995% — Synthesized from purified precursors — metallic impurities blocked at the raw-material stage
  • ☢️ Ultra-Low Radioactivity U/Th <0.1 ppb — Virtually free of ore-derived radioactive elements — helps suppress soft errors in HBM and AI chips
  • 📐 Custom D50 from 20 nm to 2 µm — Particle size designed to your target D50, from nano to submicron
  • ⚡ Conductivity <1.0 µS/cm — Extremely low ionic impurities reduce corrosion and ion-migration risk for reliable insulation
  • ⚗️ Surface Modification · Hydrophobic Treatment — Amino- or mercapto-functionalization available; hydrophobic treatment reaches contact angles above 150°
