INTRODUCTION

Precipitated silica, a form of synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide, is derived from quartz sand, a crystalline form of silicon dioxide. The physical properties of precipitated silica can be manipulated during the manufacturing process to deliver products with a wide range of performance-enhancing features engineered for many different end-use applications.

Silicon dioxide (or silica) is present in over 90% of the minerals that make up the earth’s crust. 

Naturally occurring forms of silica and silicate are still used today as functional fillers, with the silicon atoms determining much of the overall character of these minerals. Silica forms tetrahedral arrangements. The tendency of these units to form a three-dimensional framework is fundamental to silica crystal chemistry, which in turn directs the arrangement of the minerals’ structure into the lattice shapes that determine their particle shape and other characteristics.
