Classification :
Anti-Caking Silicon Dioxide
Keywords :
Food Grade Silica (Flow Agent Type)
PRODUCT DETAILS
1. Product Description
This product is professional food grade flow agent silica, specially developed for the filling process of powdered food. Designed with precise particle size (5-50μm) and porous structure, it significantly reduces the powder angle of repose (≤28°) and improves fluidity by 60%-80%, effectively solving the problems of wall sticking, low accuracy and low efficiency in powder filling. It has a silica content of ≥98.5% with an addition level of 0.1%-0.8%, free of peculiar smell and graininess. Compliant with mainstream global food additive standards (GB 25576-2020, EU 10/2011, FDA), it is suitable for the production of various powdered foods.
