Extraction and Availability: Silica, extracted from the Earth's crust, is a raw material composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is inert and insoluble, making it ideal for various applications. The extraction of silica involves mining silica-rich rocks, which are processed to obtain a high-purity product.

Ceramic Sector: Enhances the plasticity of clays, improving the shapes and textures of ceramic pieces.

Glass and Glaze Industry: A key component for providing brightness and transforming creations into luminous works of art.

Other Industrial Applications: Used in optical fibers, catalysts, and the production of silicone and other chemical compounds.
