Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

RM-Freetext:
Dissolved silica from commercial soluble silicates is indistinguishable from natural dissolved silica since
depolymerisation of polysilicate anions to monomeric dissolved silica occurs very rapidly when commercial soluble
silicate solutions are diluted with water. Therefore any soluble silica input to the natural silica cycle as a result of the production or use of commercial soluble silicates will be insignificant in view of the size and high flux of the natural silica cycle.
