Performance Segmentation" of Pet-Grade Silicon Dioxide: How to Choose Between General-Purpose and High-Performance Types
General-purpose pet-grade silicon dioxide is characterized by "high cost-effectiveness and solid basic functions," making it suitable for most conventional pet food scenarios.
With the increasing quality requirements of the pet food industry, pet-grade silicon dioxide is also divided into general-purpose pet-grade silicon dioxide and high-performance pet-grade silicon dioxide based on different application scenarios. The two have distinct focuses in terms of performance and application scenarios, meeting the needs of different pet feeds.
General-purpose pet-grade silicon dioxide is characterized by "high cost-effectiveness and solid basic functions," making it suitable for most conventional pet food scenarios. It has basic moisture-proof, anti-caking, and flowability-enhancing functions, which can meet the production and storage needs of ordinary pellet feed and extruded feed. For example, for the conventional product lines of small and medium-sized pet food enterprises or basic pet food for the mass market, adding general-purpose pet-grade silicon dioxide can effectively solve the problems of feed caking and short shelf life. At the same time, the cost is controllable, helping enterprises balance production efficiency while ensuring basic quality.
In addition, general-purpose pet-grade silicon dioxide has strong adaptability. Whether it is dog food, cat food, rabbit food, bird food, or other types of pet food, the addition amount can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the feed to achieve stable functional effects. There is no need to develop separate adaptation plans for a single category, which lowers the application threshold for enterprises.
On the other hand, high-performance pet-grade silicon dioxide focuses on "high-end needs and customized functions," and is specially designed for high-quality and special types of pet food. It is optimized through special processes and far surpasses general-purpose products in key indicators such as moisture absorption efficiency, anti-caking stability, and dispersibility. For instance, for high-end freeze-dried pet food, this type of feed has extremely low moisture content and is sensitive to the humidity of the storage environment. Ordinary silicon dioxide cannot meet the moisture-proof requirements, but high-performance pet-grade silicon dioxide can still maintain efficient moisture absorption capacity in low-humidity environments, preventing freeze-dried feed from absorbing moisture, becoming soft, and deteriorating in taste. For special feeds such as prescription food and food for elderly pets, their components are more complex, and higher requirements are placed on nutritional stability. High-performance pet-grade silicon dioxide can improve flowability while reducing interactions with active nutrients (such as probiotics and vitamins) in the feed, maximizing the retention of nutritional activity and ensuring the nutrient intake of pets with special needs.
At the same time, high-performance pet-grade silicon dioxide can also have customized performance according to the special forms of feed. For example, for powdered pet nutritional supplements, it can solve the problems of easy caking and difficult quantification. For high-end meat granule feed with high protein and high fat content, it can enhance the anti-caking effect and avoid particle adhesion caused by oil precipitation. For pet food enterprises pursuing quality upgrading and focusing on the high-end market, or brands producing special functional pet food, high-performance pet-grade silicon dioxide can become a key driver to enhance product competitiveness, helping products achieve breakthroughs in quality, taste, and nutrient retention.
