Silicates

Silicates are a vast group of minerals and compounds that consist of silicon, oxygen and various metal cations.  Their diverse properties and widespread occurrence make silicates fundamental to both the natural world and human activities.  Silicates are essential in biology, where they are found in the skeletons of diatoms and some marine organisms.  


Silicates play a crucial role in geology and as an essential chemical found in ceramics, construction materials, cosmetics, electronics, glass production, paint and coatings, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. Silicate minerals and silicate products are used as cleaning and whitening agents in toothpaste, additives for detergents, creating a “matted” finish on surface coatings, improving drug stability and release, semiconductor manufacturing, stabilizing pH levels in water, removing impurities from beer and edible oils, and providing strength and temperature stability.
