It is a white powder. Dissolve in strong acid. Insoluble in water, alcohol, and alkali. Calcium silicate is formed by calcining calcium carbonate and silicon dioxide at high temperatures. Due to different formation conditions, different crystal forms, and different uses.
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 and 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.
As a product of sealants
It is used as a sealant on roads or on the shells of fresh eggs: when sodium silicate is applied as a sealant to cured concrete or eggshells, it chemically reacts with calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate to form calcium silicate hydrate, sealing micropores with a relatively impermeable material.
As a component of cement
It also occurs in cement, where it is known as belite or in cement chemist notation C2S.
Agriculture
Calcium silicate is often used in agriculture as a plant-available source of silicon. It is "applied extensively to Everglades mucks and associated sands planted to sugarcane and rice"
