Calcium silicate (CaSiO₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the silicate family, commonly produced as a byproduct in industrial processes or synthesized for specialized applications. It serves primarily in refractory materials, insulation products, and cement-based systems where thermal stability and chemical inertness are required. Engineers select calcium silicate for high-temperature environments, building materials, and biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and pozzolanic reactivity in concrete formulations.
