Silicon dioxide(CAT: M065952), also known as silica, is a naturally occurring inorganic compound composed of silicon and oxygen atoms (SiO₂). It is widely used across industries due to its chemical stability, hardness, and high thermal resistance. In pharmaceuticals and food products, it serves as an anti-caking agent and flow regulator. In electronics, silica is critical in semiconductor manufacturing and insulating materials. It is also a major component in glass, ceramics, paints, and coatings. Available in various forms including amorphous and crystalline, silicon dioxide is essential in applications ranging from catalysis and filtration to advanced materials and nanotechnology research.
