Elkem products that are of interest in the advanced ceramics field are the Silgrain line of silicon powders.

Silicon powder is often used as a raw material for manufacturing silicon nitride and silicon carbide ceramics.

Silgrain is available with different purity levels - 97.8 to 99.7% Si - and can be jet-milled at the production plant to a wide range of particle sizes.

Silgrain with low conductivity (max. 9) and pH (max. 6) can be delivered.

Data sheets and size curves with typical values on D10, D50 and D90 for jet-milled products will be sent upon request.
