- Acts as a glidant and flow agent in pharmaceutical powders, tablets, and dry mixes to improve handling and prevent caking.
- Serves as a desiccant and moisture absorber in packaging, desiccants, and humidity control applications.
- Employed in cosmetics and personal care products for oil absorption, texturizing, thickening, and mattifying properties.
- Functions as a rheology modifier, thickener, suspending agent, and anti-settling aid in paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and inks.
- Applied in agriculture as an inert carrier and dispersant for pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
- Acts as an anti-caking agent, carrier, and flow aid in food products (E551).
- Used in chromatography and analytical applications as a stationary phase or support material for compound separation.
- Utilized in water treatment and purification as a filtration aid or coagulant assistant.
- Employed in electronics for thermal management, potting compounds, and polishing slurries (not as a primary source for silicon production).
