Overview
LUDOX® PW-50 is an alkaline, 50% solids, aqueous dispersion of silica. The silica is polydispersed and has an average particle size of 40 nanometers. The relatively large particle size, low surface area, and ultra high purity make LUDOX® PW-50 ideally suited for use as an abrasive in polishing applications.
