The product is widely used in the construction industry as an additive in concrete, mortar, and grout. Its fine particle size and high silica content enhance the strength, durability, and workability of these materials, making them more resistant to cracks and shrinkage. With the growth in urbanization and infrastructure development globally, the product demand in the construction sector is on the rise. The foundry industry is another major consumer of the product. It is used as a molding compound to create intricate shapes and patterns in the production of metal castings. It helps improve the flow ability and compact ability of molding sand, ensuring precise and high-quality castings.
It is also used in various other industries, such as in the production of ceramics, abrasives, refractories, and catalysts. In the cosmetics industry, it is used as an absorbent & thickening agent in products like powders, foundations, & creams; and in paints, coatings, & sealants it is used to enhance their performance & provide better adhesion. However, the potential health risks associated with inhaling silica dust can diminish the market potential for the product. Regulatory measures and safety standards have been implemented to mitigate these risks, which can impact demand and product usage. InAddition, the cost of organic products, which may contain silica flour as an ingredient, can also be a restraining factor in certain markets, as it may limit consumer affordability and affect the overall demand for products that utilize silica flour.
