silica: Can they proof their product is 100% silica free?

We had a long, involved discussion with the manufacturer/grower. The grower that Bella BirdCo uses explained that silica are the "hairs or fibers" that can be on the outside of the canary seed. When they asked their farmers, they were told that this particular seed is the best quality, cleanest seed (meaning it is fresh and triple vacuumed to clean all dust off of it). Silica is abrasive; this particular seed is so smooth that the seeds flow out like water if one was to puncture the bag, like an hourglass. Seeds are are not triple cleaned or are of lower quality would not flow like this. So, they said since no one can really claim silica free, they can claim they have the cleanest, freshest, and highest quality canary seed (alpiste) which is also packed in a nitrogen-flushed bag. This oxygen-free environment keeps the seeds fresher and drier than hand-packed bags.

I wrote to Proctor Silex before purchasing it. They said "BPA-free in all 'food-zones'" for this product.

Short of a laboratory test, I suppose you just have to take the seller's word for it. Not very different from any container advertised as "BPA free" bought at the supermarket -regardless of statements to that effect on the packaging or elsewhere, short of a laboratory test you cannot possibly be 100% sure that indeed the container is BPA free.

Yes it is! I emailed the company to ask because I wasn't sure, and they replied saying it's 100% BPA free.

I don't know about silica but it is good sand and doesn't stick to children's hands which is what I was looking for when I purchased it.

I cannot verify that they are "archival quality" -- but did it not state they were acid free?

Can we get confirmation that the product is PA free? Does the company have a white paper or anything else they can provide that will demonstrate its safety?

I feel like I am in chemistry class again. LOL... But to answer this I am ONLY giving my opinion and this is more a direct question for the manufacturer of this product which would be Chemical Guys. There are no lists of ingredients on the bottle that I have purchased but here is my opinion. Silane is of practical interest as a precursor to elemental silicon. So I can not answer if there is silane in "Black Light". As for the second part of your question, silica the dioxide form of silicon, SiO 2, occurring especially as quartz sand, flint, and agate: used usually in the form of its prepared white powder chiefly in the manufacture of glass, water glass, ceramics, and abrasives.I have not found that there are any forms of abrasives in "Black Light" therefore it follows under the class of a wax and not a polish or any form of rubbing compound even in it's lowest class of abrasiveness. "Black Light" comes with only application instructions and "In the event of an emergency" follow these set of Poison Control guidelines. I have been using this product for little over a year now and I use it as it is intended. As a finish to all that you can do to restore your original finish and with EXCEPTIONAL results I may add. If you simply follow the directions that Chemical Guys have set forth you will have unbelievable results. I hope this has helped you in a small way but again, if you contact Chemical Guys, I think they are bound by full disclosure on answering your question. I only wish I was more helpful to you.

I will try. I don't think "pure" can be detected in DMSO. I've used it for years and have never experienced any kind of a problem with it; only success. "Concentrate?" I've never heard of it-concentrate that is. The DMSO bottle has always advertised 99% purity. I've believed that meant a little water was added to it. I know a number of people who use it - no side-effects whatsoever!!!!!Chet <><

No.There is only one seller at this time, that has developed a canary seed that is glabrous ( free of the fibers that coat the outer part of the hull).Its patented and is grown exclusively in Canada. For the record, there's nothing wrong with silica, its a great mineral, essential to strong bones, hair, skin, etc.What's wrong is the shape the silica comes in which is a pointed microscopic spear.Similar to asbestos.

I just checked the can's label carefully, but it does not state the percentage of silicon, although it does say "No CFC's", to comply with many state regulations. I'm sorry I cannot give you the percentage; perhaps the manufacturer will supply this information. I DO know that it works, leaving very little (if any) unwanted residue.

I ask then the same question on their website their reply is "it's safe". Is it silica free: I would assume not unless they says otherwise and it look like they are others peoples waiting for that answer.. I drink the milk OK, and I filter it 3 times before bottling it.. not sure if that help as silica particle are really small. but...

I don't think there is a definitive answer to your question but most likely forever unless you damage the silica gel. I know they work and mine has been dried out in the oven every three or four months and still working well.

I am not sure , but silicon does not use a plasticizer which is what BPA is.

Does not say it contains silicone, which would be a selling point if you ask me. It does say: no petroleum distillates, contains mineral oil, and liquefied petroleum gas. Other than that the container really doesn't reveal what they are using. Weird.

As a beginner to the product I'm taking essential silica only...just began to read up on the other available products..the essential silica is working wonders...I am ready to order another bottle as we speak.

I can't be 100 % sure because I've picked up bits of info online, but it says that it is bpa free.. now I have to go check further.
