Amorphous silica is a non-crystalline form of silicon dioxide characterized by its high surface area, fine particle size, and porous structure. Unlike crystalline silica, it poses lower health risks and is widely used as a safe, functional additive in various industries.
Amorphous silica includes types like:
- Precipitated Silica
- Fumed Silica (Pyrogenic)
- Silica Gel
- Colloidal Silica
