Although the first mention of silicate production was over 5,000 years ago, silicates are very much current products, used in a variety of applications with no adverse effects on the environment.
Proof of this is that the volume of silicates produced globally is only superseded by the volume of acid and base commodities.
FMC Foret
produces a wide range of liquid and solid silicates for applications such as detergents, ceramics, paper or adhesives.
FMC Foret belongs to the
CEES
, an organization representing Silicate producers:
