    Product Overview

    What is Silicon Metal?

    Silicon Metal is produced by carbothermic reduction of high-purity quartz in a submerged-arc furnace, yielding a grey, lustrous, brittle metalloid of 98.5% to 99.5% silicon. Commercial grades are named for their maximum iron, aluminium and calcium content — 553, 441, 3303 and 2202 — with lower numbers meaning tighter impurity limits.

    Aluminium alloying is the largest single use. Silicon improves castability, reduces shrinkage and raises wear resistance in automotive and extrusion alloys, making it essential for secondary smelters and die casters.

    Chemical grades feed the silicones industry, where silicon reacts with methyl chloride to make siloxane polymers, and ultra-refined silicon goes on to polysilicon for solar and semiconductors. Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies metallurgical and chemical grades across the UAE and wider GCC.

    Safety Note: Silicon metal in lump form is not classified as hazardous, but fine silicon powder is a combustible dust and can form explosive clouds. Contact with water or moisture in some conditions may release hydrogen. Control dust, avoid ignition sources and consult the full SDS before handling.

    • Lump form — not classified as hazardous
    • Fine powder — combustible dust, explosion risk
    • Keep away from strong oxidisers and moisture
    • Store dry in a well-ventilated area

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions — Silicon Metal UAE

    Silicon Metal is used as an alloying element in aluminium castings and extrusions, as feedstock for silicones and siloxanes, as a deoxidiser in steel, and as the starting material for polysilicon used in solar panels and semiconductors.

    The CAS number for Silicon Metal (Si) is 7440-21-3, with EINECS 231-130-8. It is traded under HS code 2804.69 below 99.99% silicon and 2804.61 at or above that purity.

    The three digits give the maximum iron, aluminium and calcium content as tenths of a percent. Grade 553 allows up to 0.5% Fe, 0.5% Al and 0.3% Ca; 441 tightens this to 0.4%, 0.4% and 0.1%; 3303 is tighter still at 0.3%, 0.3% and 0.03%.

    Silicon improves fluidity in the melt, reduces solidification shrinkage and cracking, and raises hardness and wear resistance. That combination makes Al-Si alloys the standard for engine blocks, wheels and die castings.

    Chelora Chemicals UAE is a dedicated Silicon Metal supplier serving all seven UAE emirates. We stock 553, 441, 3303 and chemical grades in lumps, granules and powder, serving aluminium, foundry, silicone and steel industries across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.

    Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE delivers Silicon Metal to all seven UAE emirates — Dubai (including Jebel Ali FZ, Al Quoz and DIP), Abu Dhabi (Musaffah, ICAD, KIZAD), Sharjah (SAIF Zone, Hamriyah FZ), Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — as well as to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and other GCC countries.

    Silicon metal in lump form is not classified as hazardous. Fine powder, however, is a combustible dust that can form explosive clouds, so dust control, earthing and ignition-source management are essential. Always consult the batch-specific SDS.

    Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Silicon Metal in 1 MT jumbo bags (smelters and alloy plants), 25 kg bags (foundries and small batches), bulk container loads (high-volume contracts) and sealed drums for fine powder grades.

    Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE regularly exports Silicon Metal to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and wider markets across Asia, Africa and Europe, leveraging our proximity to Jebel Ali Port. We handle export logistics including freight forwarding, customs documentation, certificate of origin (COO) and safety data sheets in Arabic and English.
