Product Information
Name:Silicon dioxide
Synonyms:
- Silica
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Silicon dioxide is a compound that is also known as silica. It is the most common and abundant mineral in the earth's crust, making up about 27% of it by weight. Silicon dioxide has thermodynamic properties that are similar to those of glass, and can be used as an additive to glass to reduce its tendency to break. In vitro assays have shown that silicon dioxide inhibits the growth of human cancer cells without damaging normal cells. Silicon dioxide has been shown to have antioxidant properties and may help combat autoimmune diseases by reducing oxidative stress. Silicon dioxide also has high values for water vapor permeability and redox potential, which make it useful in gas-sensing applications. Silicon dioxide is often used in ceramic glazes and varnishes due to its durability, chemical inertness, thermal stability, electrical insulation properties, and low cost.
