PRODUCT DETAILS

1. Product Advantages

This is a specialty toothpaste‑grade silica with ultra‑low heavy‑metal residues, specially developed for high‑safety‑grade oral care products targeting infants, mothers‑to‑be, pregnant women and sensitive‑population end‑users. It strictly complies with top‑tier food‑ingredient safety standards including GB/T 32673‑2016, FDA and FCC.

Manufactured via dedicated multi‑stage purification, ion‑filtration and impurity‑trapping processes, it imposes stringent control over heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium and other harmful trace elements. Its total heavy‑metal residue is far below national and international limit values, approaching zero.

The silica purity reaches ≥99%. It contains no fluorescent agents, no irritating impurities and no hazardous residues. The powder features fine and round particles with excellent formulation compatibility, and its pH value fits the physiological oral environment. It delivers both mild cleaning performance and paste‑stabilizing capacity. Chemically inert and stable in formulas, it prevents hazardous‑substance precipitation and residue. It serves as an essential core raw material for high‑safety‑grade toothpaste and mother‑infant‑oriented oral‑care articles.

3. Application Scenarios

Specially formulated for high‑safety‑grade oral‑care products. Main applications include swallow‑safe toothpaste for infants, children’s dental‑care toothpaste, toothpaste for pregnant women, post‑operative repairing toothpaste, and high‑end medical‑grade oral‑care toothpaste.

Thanks to its extremely low heavy‑metal residues, it fully meets safety requirements for mother‑infant groups and people with special physical conditions; trace ingestion poses no health risks. The mild, non‑irritating powder cleans teeth without damaging enamel or gingiva. It is compatible with various natural, additive‑free and functional safe toothpaste formulas, and stands as a preferred compliant raw material for global high‑end safety‑focused toothpaste brands.

4. Factory Strength

Our facility operates dedicated high‑purity sterile production workshops with fully enclosed dust‑free pollution‑free production, blocking heavy‑metal and harmful‑impurity contamination at the source. Equipped with special multi‑stage ion‑filtration and precision‑purification equipment, it accurately traps trace heavy‑metal ions for extreme raw‑material purification.

We deploy atomic‑absorption spectrophotometers and trace heavy‑metal detectors. Each batch undergoes a full 32‑item safety inspection to verify heavy‑metal compliance item‑by‑item. Our 10 000‑ton‑per‑year sterile production line ensures stable supply. Certified for mother‑infant‑grade and medical‑grade safety, our products satisfy stringent global oral‑raw‑material standards and support compliant export for premium brands.

6. FAQs

Q: Can low heavy‑metal silica be used in swallow‑safe children’s toothpaste?

A: Fully applicable. It features near‑zero heavy‑metal residues, no harmful impurities and no fluorescent components, complying with the highest safety standards for swallow‑safe toothpaste. Trace ingestion by infants causes no safety hazards.

Q: What is the core safety difference versus ordinary toothpaste‑grade silica?

A: Conventional silica only meets basic food‑grade requirements. Our product undergoes multi‑stage purification with extreme control over heavy‑metals and harmful‑ion residues. Its safety level far exceeds industry benchmarks, making it suitable for demanding mother‑infant‑grade and medical‑grade applications.

Q: Is there any risk of hazardous‑substance precipitation during long‑term usage?

A: No precipitation risk. It features high chemical stability with no free harmful components. No hazardous substances will precipitate under high‑temperature, low‑temperature or long‑term‑storage conditions, delivering reliable safety in use.
