Silicic Acid

Product Description

Silicic Acid is a high-purity amorphous silica-based compound widely used in analytical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. It is typically represented by the formula H₄SiO₄ (hydrated silica) and exists as a white, odorless, fine powder.

Due to its excellent adsorption capacity, chemical inertness, and high surface area, Silicic Acid is used as an adsorbent, catalyst carrier, and chromatography medium. It also plays an important role in nutritional, cosmetic, and research applications where high-purity silica compounds are required.
