Overview

Silica Dioxide-Free Flow Agent 25kg Silicon dioxide (E 551), commonly known as silica, is widely used as a free-flow agent and anti-caking agent in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed, to prevent powdered substances from clumping and improve their flowability and shelf life. How it Works: Moisture Absorption: Silicon dioxide absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment, preventing hygroscopic powders from becoming sticky and clumpy. Particle Coating: It can also act by coating individual particles, creating a thin layer that reduces friction and prevents them from sticking together, ensuring smooth flow. Improving Flowability: In pharmaceutical applications, it acts as a glidant, reducing inter-particle friction and allowing powders to flow smoothly through processing equipment like tablet presses and capsule fillers.
