Global Specialty Silica Market 2017-2021

About Specialty Silica

Silica, which is the most plentiful mineral found in the crust of the earth, is a chemical compound generally known as silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Silica is commonly found in nature in the form of quartz. Silicon dioxide is typically procured by mining and refinement of quartz. Silica-based products can be categorized into four major types, namely, precipitated silica, colloidal silica, fumed silica, and silica gel. Each type has its own industrial applications. Specialty silica is mainly used in rubber; personal care products; food, feed, and agricultural products; plastics; ink, paints, and coatings; and adhesives and sealants.
