It is one of a group of compounds obtained by reacting calcium oxide and silica in various ratios〔H F W Taylor, ''Cement Chemistry'', Academic Press, 1990, ISBN 0-12-683900-X, p 33-34〕 e.g. 3CaO•SiO2, Ca3SiO5; 2CaO•SiO2, Ca2SiO4; 3CaO•2SiO2, Ca3Si2O7 and CaO•SiO2, CaSiO3. Calcium silicate is a white free-flowing powder derived from limestone and diatomaceous earth. It has a low bulk density and high physical water absorption. It is used in roads, insulation, bricks, roof tiles, table salt〔http://www.mortonsalt.com/faqs/food_salt_faq.html#q6〕 and occurs in cements, where it is known as belite (or in cement chemist notation C2S). It is used as an anti-caking agent in food preparation and an antacid. It is approved by the United Nations' FAO and WHO bodies as a safe food additive in a large variety of products.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.codexalimentarius.net/gsfaonline/additives/details.html?id=315 ) ''Codex General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA) Online Database'', FAO/WHO Food Standards Codex alimentarius, published by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations / World Health Organization, 2013.〕 ==High temperature insulation== Calcium silicate is commonly used as a safe alternative to asbestos for high temperature insulation materials. Industrial grade piping and equipment insulation is often fabricated from calcium silicate. Its fabrication is a routine part of the curriculum for insulation apprentices. Calcium silicate competes in these realms against rockwool as well as proprietary insulation solids, such as perlite mixture and vermiculite bonded with sodium silicate. Although it is popularly considered an asbestos substitute, early uses of calcium silicate for insulation still made use of asbestos fibers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calcium silicate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
