Hydrated silica is an inorganic material.
Hydrated silica is typically manufactured by dissolving silicon dioxide in a hot alkaline solution to form sodium silicate, which is then precipitated and washed to convert it into hydrated silica. This process involves filtration, drying, and milling to obtain the final hydrated silica product.
it is made of silica and is inorganic
It is inorganic (does not contain carbon).
Diatoms are algae, diatoms are protists. Diatoms are placed in the division Bacilliariophyta, which is distinguished by the presence of an inorganic cell wall composed of hydrated silica.
yes
Yes, which is why it reacts so little with the human body.
Opal ia a hydrated silica mineral.
No. Opal is an amorphous hydrated form of silica.
The molecular formula for hydrated silica is SiO2 • nH2O, where n represents the number of water molecules attached to each silicon dioxide unit.
That is the correct spelling of "opal" (semi-precious stone, hydrated silica).
Hydrated silica is generally considered safe for use in oral care products and is often used as an abrasive agent in toothpaste. However, prolonged and frequent use of products containing abrasive ingredients like hydrated silica may potentially cause damage to retainers over time. It is best to consult with your orthodontist or dentist for specific guidance on caring for retainers.
