Amorphous Silica

What Makes Our Amorphous Silica Stand Out?

High-purity, amorphous form of SiO₂ obtained from selected mineral sources
Ultra-fine particle size with high surface area – ideal for reactive filler applications
Improves mechanical strength, thermal stability and chemical resistance in composites
Low impurity levels (Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, alkalis) – suitable for technical ceramics and high-performance materials
Enhances packing density, reduces shrinkage and increases durability of final products
Excellent performance as a functional filler in polymers, paints, coatings and sealants
Available in multiple grades and particle sizes for tailored performance
Supplied in bags and big bags (containerized) for international shipments

AMORPHOUS SILICA vs. CRYSTALLINE SILICA

Property	Amorphous Silica	Crystalline Silica (Quartz)
Structure	Non-crystalline, high surface reactivity	Crystalline lattice, lower reactivity
Applications	High-performance fillers, ceramics, polymers	Glass, basic fillers, construction materials
Health & Safety	Non-crystalline form — reduced concern	Can pose health risks when inhaled (dust)
Thermal Stability	Excellent for high-temperature applications	Good but less suitable for reactive systems

TECHNICAL BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

Improves strength, hardness and thermal shock resistance in ceramics
Enhances mechanical and chemical performance in composites and polymers
Fine particle size for excellent dispersion and surface interaction
Reduces cracking, shrinkage and porosity in final formulations
Boosts UV, abrasion and chemical resistance in coatings & sealants
Acts as a functional filler and performance enhancer – not just a volume filler

AMORPHOUS SILICA – Engineered Performance

Our Amorphous Silica is a high-performance functional mineral designed for advanced industrial applications requiring improved mechanical, thermal and chemical properties. Thanks to its amorphous structure and high surface area, it provides superior reactivity, making it a preferred additive in ceramics, polymers, paints, coatings and engineered material systems.

It delivers excellent reinforcing effects, enhances durability, and enables formulation optimization through improved particle packing and dispersion.

A technical solution trusted for performance-driven materials.

Yinovia Minerals: Trusted Industrial Mineral Supplier for Europe, the Middle East and Asia

Yinovia Minerals is a Hamburg-based independent trade and supply partner specialising in industrial minerals and ores. The company connects manufacturers across Europe, the Middle East and Asia with reliable producers — primarily in Turkey — and delivers end-to-end supply chain solutions. With strong producer partnerships in Turkey and a strategic location in Hamburg, Yinovia Minerals facilitates access to high-quality raw materials for global industry.

With a broad portfolio spanning pumice, pa), sodium feldspar, pozzolan/trass,amorphous silica and magnesia, Yinovia Minerals serves the ceramics, glass, construction, cement, paints, plastics, oil & gas and cosmetics sectors. Every supply process is backed by on-site inspection, laboratory analysis and multilingual documentation support — underpinning a reliable partnership model at every step.

Our Product Portfolio

Barite (BaSO₄) — High-Purity Barium Sulphate

Yinovia Minerals’ natural barite offers excellent density (4.2–4.4 g/cm³) and chemical inertness, covering a wide range of applications from oil & gas drillinplastics and radiation-shielding concrete.With BaSO₄ purity of 90–98%, the product is available in three grades: Drilling Class, Micronised Class and High-Purity White. Shipments are made from the ports of Mersin and Iskenderun.

Sericite (Fine-Grained Mica) — For Cosmetic and Industrial Applications

Distinguished by its fine lamellar structure, high whiteness and very low abrasiveness, sericite is a versatile mineral used in cosmetic powders, eyeshadows and foundation formulations as well as industrial paints, ceramics, porcelain and polymer additives. With SiO₂ (45–55%), Al₂O₃ (20–26%) and K₂O (6–8%), it delivers outstanding chemical stability. Available in 25–50 kg bags, big bags or bulk from the ports of Mersin, Izmir and Gemlik.

Pumice — Natural Volcanic Raw Material from Central Anatolia

Quarried from the volcanic regions of Central Anatolia, pumice stands out for its lightweight structure with a dry bulk density of 380–600 kg/m³ and low thermaK). It is used as lightweight concrete aggregate, in road construction and thermal ctor; as a plant-growing substrate and greenroof medium in horticulture; and as a filter medium in cement and chemicals. Largely freed from clay and impurities, and with lower moisture content than washed alternatives, our pumice eliminates costly washing processes. Bulk shipments from Iskenderun and Yumurtalık ports.

Expanded Perlite — Thermal Insulation an

Sourced from Turkish volcanic glass deposexceptional thermal and acoustic insulation with a bulk density of 30–150 kg/m³. Chemica-combustible, it is widely used inlightweight concrete blocks, insulation panels and mortars; soilless growing media and substrate blends; food and chemical industry filtration; and cryogenic insulation.
