is this 100% silica? or is it a mixture?
569281
I am not positive if it is 100% silica but it certainly works great!! Very absorbing.

I looked up many versions of the discussion for this litter--and no where did it say. I would assume it is a mixture.

All silica crystals. Lasts me an average of 22 days in one litter box with 2 cats.

Mr. EssnerThe mixture is 4-12-0. My use for the product is to add some fertilizer to a potting mix that I make. The soil in my garden is clay with a high pH so my potting mixture includes bone meal and gypsum.

I'm waiting for this answer too.. and it look like it will never come, their product it's probably not 100% silica free but then not much scientific research to human that as been made regarding this product type:in this link http://www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/Default.aspx?DN=b3b1fd99-df9c-4da2-bd0e-6342bdef9e69under Varieties it will answer some questions.Now, as too where is the silica after the seed was harvested and then after you wash the seed??I would assume if it's the "itchless" or "glabrous Varieties of alpiste seed then drink the milk is safe.. 100% safe not sure.. but then what in the world nowadays that is 100% natural and safe...

I really don't know. The reason that use horsetail is because it's natural and I think that horsetail is a natural silica.

Neither the bottle nor their website mentions what black light is composed of. If I had to guess it's probably silane because it's properties are ideal for layering to protect surfaces. Silica on the other hand is the main component of sand and seriously doubt it would be in polish.

The MSDS on their website states that the "Composition/Information On Ingredients" is Acetone and nothing else added. It appears to be 100% pure Acetone.

Yes, plus a little Cobalt Chloride (probably the color indicator): The MSDS says 99.7% Silica Gel, < 0.3% Cobalt Chloride. http://atdtools.com/7887

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...

Personally, I use it in place of powder. I open one hole beneath the sifter sticker and sift a tiny amount into the lid. Then I apply it with my powder brush. It is translucent and 100% silica.

No! I don't believe so... From what I have read the company uses permanently bonded silica (think sand or glass) instead of conventional chemicals. The information used to be on their website, might still be.

I don't even know. Sorry I couldn't have been of more assistance, I purchased this sand for something other than an aquarium, I don't even know what silica-free is. Maybe if you contact the seller they should know.

It appears to be a mix of both sodium and calcium bentonite, for a long-winded explanation provided by the company, please follow the link. http://www.redmondclay.com/2012/is-redmond-clay-a-calcium-bentonite-clay/

I'm not quite sure what u mean but here's what on the bottle: silicia 152mg, fulvic acid 2mg; mineral size 0.1nonometers or 1 Angstrom. absorbtion rate 99%. Other Ingrdients: double reverse osmosis water. ionized silicia from orthosilcic acid.

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.

It looks to be crystalline silica, like normal sand grains. Just very well sorted, and cleaner than normal play sand silica grains.

The whole item is 100 percent silicone. It does a good job of maintaining shape and we have washed it numerous times and color stays constant.
