I-Micro silica isetshenziswa kakhulu kukhonkolo, okwenza ukhonkolo ube namandla aphezulu okucindezela, ukumelana namanzi kanye nokumelana namakhemikhali. Lokhu kunganciphisa izindleko zezinto kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamandla. Izinto ezintsha ze-nano, njenge-nano silica noma ama-nanotubes, ziholela ekuthuthukisweni okuqhubekayo kokumelana namandla. Izinhlayiya ze-Nano silica noma ama-nanotubes aguqulwa abe yizinhlayiya ze-nano ze-cement ohlelweni lokuqiniswa kokhonkolo. Izinhlayiya ezincane ziholela ebangeni elifushane lezinhlayiyana, kanye nezinto ezinokuminyana okuphezulu kanye ne-porosity encane. Lokhu kwandisa amandla okucindezela futhi kunciphisa ukungena. Kodwa-ke, enye yezinkinga eziyinhloko zama-nanopowder nezinto zokwakha ukuthi kulula ukwenza ama-aggregates ngesikhathi sokumanzisa nokuxuba. Ngaphandle kokuthi izinhlayiya ngazinye zihlakazeke kahle, i-caking izonciphisa indawo yezinhlayiya eziveziwe, okuholela ekulimazeni kokusebenza kokhonkolo.
