Silica fume's benefits are already evident in the fresh concrete state before it begins to harden. Its small particle size which is 100 times finer than ordinary portland cement complements the finess modulus of concrete and provides a ball-bearing effect, which improves thixotropic behavior, in effect modifying concrete viscosity.

To optimize the benefits resulting from the use of condensed silica fume, it must be thoroughly dispersed in the cement mixture. A disadvantage to utilizing silica fume in cement is the cost. Condensed silica fume costs from $400-$1,000/ton, which is significantly higher than portland cement ($90/ton).
