PRODUCT DETAILS

Silica dioxide for premium pet food is a specialized anti-caking and flow aid formulated for animal nutrition, meeting China's GB/25576-2020 and EU EC 178/2002 food safety standards. Zhongqi products are manufactured through precipitation process with SiO₂ content ≥98.0%, particle size 3-100μm, and specific surface area 80-250m²/g. Their core advantages include "no odor, high dispersion, low dosage" without compromising palatability. The product contains significantly lower heavy metal residues than safety limits and has passed acute toxicity testing for pets.

Application description

Zhongqi high-end pet food silica is suitable for three pet food scenarios:

1.Anti-clumping of pet dry food: Add 0.2%-0.3% in dog food and cat food to prevent hard lumps formed by moisture absorption, especially suitable for high-end food containing meat powder and oil, so as to keep loose particles and facilitate chewing by pets;
2.Pet health care additives: Add 0.3%-0.5% in pet nutrition powder (such as calcium powder, probiotic powder) to improve the flow of powder, avoid "bridge" blockage during filling, and ensure accurate content per spoon;
3.Improved snack stability: Add 0.1%-0.2% in pet jerky and freeze-dried products to adsorb excess oil, reduce adhesion during storage, and extend shelf life by more than 30%.
The product is compatible with common ingredients of pet food (such as chicken powder, fish oil, vitamin), without destroying the nutritional content, and has passed the palatability test —— the acceptance of pets to the added feed has not decreased.

Product advantages

Zhongqi's core competitiveness in the field of silica for pet feed:
•Taste optimization: adopt "no odor process" to remove trace impurities that may be produced in production to ensure that it does not affect the appetite of pets;
•Customized anti-caking: adjust the particle size of silica to optimize the anti-caking effect according to the particle size of different pet food (such as young pet food and old pet food);
•Pet safety control: each batch of products are tested for acute toxicity and heavy metal detection, which meet the requirements of AAFCO pet food safety.
