Hydrated silica is also known as white carbon black, also known as light silica, the main component is silica, white amorphous powder (Figure 1), light and loose, soluble in caustic alkali and hydrofluoric acid, insoluble Used in water, solvents and acids (except hydrofluoric acid). High temperature resistance, non-combustible, odorless, odorless, with good electrical insulation. It does not decompose at high temperature, has high insulation, and has the characteristics of small particles, large specific surface area, and high structure. It is mainly used as an excellent light-colored reinforcing agent, lubricant and insulating material in the rubber industry. It can be prepared by reacting dilute sodium silicate solution with dilute hydrochloric acid.
The global hydrated silicon dioxide market is primarily driven by the increasing demand from various industries such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, electronics, and cosmetics. Here are some key factors that contribute to the market growth:
Desiccant and moisture-absorbing applications: Hydrated silicon dioxide, especially in the form of silica gel, is widely used as a desiccant to control and absorb moisture in various products and environments.
