calcium silicate
Building material mineral
Calcium silicate is a compound of calcium, silicon, and oxygen, occurring naturally in minerals and manufactured for industrial use.
It appears in construction materials like cement and insulation, and as a food additive preventing caking in powdered products: The calcium silicate keeps the salt flowing freely.
