I-silica ye-toothpaste grade iyimikhiqizo emihle ethile esetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza i-toothpaste. Ngokwezakhi, ingxenye eyinhloko i-silica, okuyipowder emhlophe, engenasawoti, engena-odour. Ukuhlanzeka kwayo okuphezulu, okuqukethwe okuphansi kwezinto ezingafunwa, kuhambisana nezidingo eziqinile zokukhiqiza i-toothpaste. Ngokwezakhiwo zomzimba, usayizi we-silica ye-toothpaste grade uvamise ukuba phakathi kuka-3-12 microns, futhi le ndawo yosayizi isiza ekwenzeni imisebenzi ethile kwi-toothpaste. Inokuhlakazeka okuhle futhi ingahlakazeka kahle kwi-paste ye-toothpaste. Ngasikhathi sinye, inenani elifanele lokumunca uwoyela nokumunca amanzi, ingamunca izinto eziphilayo kwi-toothpaste, futhi igcine ukuzinza nokuhambisana okufanele kwe-paste ye-toothpaste. Izakhiwo ze-chemistry ziqinile, futhi ngeke kube nokuphendulana kwe-chemistry ngaphansi kwemvelo ye-pH ye-toothpaste (inani le-pH ngokuvamile liyi-7-13), futhi ngeke kube nokuxhumana okungathandeki nezinye izinto kwi-toothpaste ezifana ne-fluoride, iziphuzo, njll. Indima ye-toothpaste inezici ezimbili eziyinhloko. Okokuqala, njengomshini wokucindezela, ub hardness bayo obuphakathi busebenza kahle ukususa i-plaque, udoti wokudla nezinye izinto ezingcolile ebusweni bezinyo, futhi ngeke kubangele umonakalo omkhulu ebusweni bezinyo nase-gums. Okwesibili, ingadlala indima yokwenyusa ukusiza ukugcina isakhiwo nesimo se-paste ye-toothpaste, ukuze i-toothpaste ibe lula ukuyiphonsa futhi igcine isimo esihle kwi-toothbrush. Ekukhiqizeni i-toothpaste, ukusetshenziswa kwe-silica ye-toothpaste grade kungenza i-toothpaste ibe nephunga elihle nokubukeka. Ayikwenzi i-toothpaste ibonakale ingcolile njengamanye ama-abrasives endabuko, ngaleyo ndlela ithuthukisa ulwazi lomsebenzisi. Futhi ubukhazikhazi bayo buphezulu, okusiza ukuthuthukisa umbala we-toothpaste, ukuze i-toothpaste ibonakale ibomvu futhi ibukeke kahle.
