Calcium silicates are a set of four compounds obtained by reacting calcium oxide and silica in various ratios. These have compositions Ca3O.SiO4, Ca2SiO4, Ca3Si2O7 and CaSiO3. Calcium orthosilicate is a white powder with the chemical formula Ca2SiO4. It has a low bulk density and high physical water absorption. It is used as an anti-caking agent and an antacid. A white free-flowing powder derived from limestone and diatomaceous earth, calcium silicate has no known adverse effects to health. It is used in roads, insulation, bricks, and roof tiles.
