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.
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.
Opal is a form of silica, amorphous and hydrated: SiO2.nH2O.
The cell walls of diatoms are composed of silica, in the form of hydrated silicon dioxide (SiO2). This silica helps provide structure and rigidity to the cell walls, allowing diatoms to maintain their unique shapes and withstand environmental pressures.
Opal is a amorphous mineraloid composed of hydrated silica. It is known for its unique play-of-color, which is caused by the diffraction of light by silica spheres within the stone. Opal is relatively soft, with a hardness of about 5.5-6.5 on the Mohs scale, making it susceptible to scratching and chipping.
a toothpaste is made up of :- sodium fluoride- water- hydrated silica- sorbitol- glycerin- potassium nitrate- sodium lauryl sulfate- cellulose gum- sodium hydroxide

yes
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).
SiO2 .nH2O

The scientific name for opal is hydrated amorphous silica.
They are distinguished by their characteristic cell wall which is composed of hydrated silica.
