Testing & Analysis
Silica Products for Testing and Analysis
End users of testing products need more than just a desired result - they need to know that the result is valid, and not impacted by materials or processes used in the test itself. U.S. Silica’s analytical and testing silicas are of the highest quality and consistency, helping ensure that results are accurate.
Prior to shipment, each lot of the 60/100 PR grade is required to meet the performance characteristics as described in “Changes of Methods,” Journal of the A.O.A.C. Chapter 24.208 (h), p. 223, Vol.49, November 1, 1966.
