FUME
Fume
Fume is a byproduct of raw material production of silicon and is a fine white or off-white powder. Grades of fume vary in their Silica and Zirconia content. When mixed with liquids, a three dimensional matrix is formed creating properties helping to increase viscosity, strengthen cement, prevent absorption in porous substrates, prevent pigment sedimentation, control evaporation in coatings, create sag resistant coatings. When added to solids or powders, it acts as a lubricant or an anti-caking agent.
