Used as a binder and reinforcing agent in foundry molds and cores, providing strength and thermal stability during metal casting. Acts as a key component in coatings and adhesives, enhancing adhesion, scratch resistance, and durability. Employed in the electronics industry for dielectric layers and passivation films due to its insulating properties. Utilized in the production of catalysts and catalyst supports because of its high surface area and stability. Applied in construction materials to improve cohesion, water resistance, and curing properties in cementitious systems. Also used in food and pharmaceuticals as an anti-caking agent when dried to form silica. In agriculture, serves as a carrier for pesticides and fertilizers, enabling controlled release and improved dispersion.
