I've found a few hits on silicogenic, but they're mostly on German sites. Do we have a standard English wording for this, or do I have to paraphrase?

Not sure.
Silicogenic is not mentioned in the literature available to me.

I\'m fairly sure it refers to silicosis (Staublunge) in this asbestos context.

silicon-producing
This is what "silicogenic" basically means. The suffix "genic" means "producing". So, if you don't want to say "silicogenic" (which I personally think would be OK), this seems like about your only other option (at least, to me).
