Silicic Acid
Silicic Acid (Product Code: SCI-449/189) is an analytical reagent grade compound of silicon used as a source of hydrated silica and as an adsorbent in inorganic chemistry and chromatography practicals in college and research laboratories. Lecturers and lab technicians use it when teaching the chemistry of silica and silicates, and this listing is a 100 ml pack supplied with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier in India.

What Is Silicic Acid Used For?
Silicic acid is the weak acid formed when silica takes up water, so it links the chemistry of sand, glass and silicate minerals in an inorganic chemistry course. Heating a sample drives off water and leaves silica, while warming it with strong alkali shows silica dissolving to form a soluble silicate. In biochemistry and organic labs it has long been packed into columns to separate lipids and other non-polar compounds by adsorption chromatography.
Weigh it with a clean, dry spatula, avoid raising dust, and close the container straight after use so the reagent does not take up moisture from the air. It is a low-volume item, so most labs order it together with other reagents and glassware from one lab consumables supplier in India.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which sources Silicic Acid and other inorganic reagents for colleges, universities, schools and research laboratories in India and international markets. Every pack travels with its MSDS, so the chemical store has handling, spill and disposal guidance on file from the day it arrives.
Company background is available on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade and pack size is Silicic Acid SCI-449/189?
Silicic Acid SCI-449/189 is listed as an analytical reagent in a 100 ml pack and is supplied with an MSDS. The listing does not describe its physical form or assay, so ask us to confirm both on the quotation before you order.
Is Silicic Acid supplied as a powder or a liquid?
The listing gives the Silicic Acid pack as 100 ml but does not say whether the contents are a powder or a solution. Silicic acid is commonly handled as a hydrated solid, so confirm the physical form with us before planning a practical around it.
What is the shelf life of Silicic Acid?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so there is no fixed period for Silicic Acid. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry store.
How should Silicic Acid be handled in the lab?
Handle Silicic Acid with a clean, dry spatula, avoid creating dust, and wear safety goggles and gloves as advised on the MSDS supplied with the pack. Keep the lid closed between uses so the reagent stays dry.
Who supplies Silicic Acid?
Silicic Acid is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources laboratory chemicals and delivers them with apparatus and glassware to schools, colleges and research institutions in India and international markets.
