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.

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:
