In addition, silica can also be used for preservation, antiseptic and increasing the taste of food.
In the pharmaceutical field, silica is used as a drug carrier and can adsorb antibacterial ions to achieve antibacterial purposes. At the same time, silica is also used in the vitamin manufacturing industry.
In industrial manufacturing, silica is added to materials such as rubber, plastic, and coatings as a filler and reinforcing agent to improve their mechanical properties, wear resistance, and durability. In addition, silica is also used as a filter and adsorbent to remove microbial contaminants and control insect pests.
In cosmetics and personal care products, silica is often used as a filler, oil absorbent, and anti-caking agent. In the papermaking industry, silica is also used as a filler and reinforcing agent.
As a versatile chemical additive, silica plays an important role in many fields such as food, medicine, industrial manufacturing, cosmetics and personal care products, and papermaking.
