The lead does a great job to synthesize the upcoming information and presents a valid argument on why to keep this topic independent, rather than collapsing it down into another. It appears to be concise and does not refer to anything outside the scope of the article.

The article itself does a good job of capturing the diversity of uses and the information ranges from simple uses (toothpaste) to the chemical formulae that make up the species of hydrated silicon. The sources for this information are above board and seem to feature scientific papers taken from respected journals.

The flame retardant properties of hydrated silica could probably be combined into the safety heading.

Images are taken from appropriate sources and feature one of the uses of hydrated silica.
