Shandong Zhonglian Chemical ZLSIL® food-grade silica: full system coverage and scenario-based technical solutions

Dear food industry partners: In the field of food powder processing, do you face core pain points such as incomplete suppression of powder agglomeration, difficulty in retaining flavor substances, and insufficient purity adaptation of high-end products? Relying on the ZLSIL® series of 36 food-grade silicas, Shandong Zhonglian Chemical has built a product matrix with "accurate and controllable technical parameters, full-dimensional coverage of application scenarios, and a clear benchmarking system." It can provide customized technical solutions for the processing needs of different categories such as solid beverages, essential oils and flavors, compound seasonings, and health care products, and can achieve efficient adaptation without repeated debugging.

1. Universal anti-caking solution: adapted to the basic powder stabilization needs of popular foods

In response to the core demands of popular foods such as solid beverages, non-dairy creamers, and milk tea powder - "efficiently inhibiting powder agglomeration and ensuring physical and chemical compatibility", the ZLSIL® universal series takes "neutral parameters and high compatibility" as its technical core. It benchmarks against the industry's mature model Sipernat 22S, covering 10 main brands, and meets the basic anti-knot requirements of large-scale production.

•Core brands and technical characteristics: ZLSIL-W22 (particle size 18-40μm, specific surface area 190 m²/g, pH 6.0-7.5, weight loss on drying ≤6.5%), ZLSIL-W58 (same parameter system, focusing on cost optimization), ZLSIL-W22S (particle size 14μm, upgraded dispersion, suitable for rapid brewing of milk tea powder);
•Compliance and compatibility: All models comply with GB 25576-2010 food additive standards, have excellent compatibility with sugar, milk powder, plant extracts and other food matrices, and have no flavor adsorption interference;
•Production adaptation: The mainstream adopts 15kg/bag standardized packaging, matching the feeding rhythm of small and medium-sized production lines, and reducing raw material storage turnover costs.

2. Flavor carrier solution: taking into account anti-caking and flavor substance locking functions

In response to the dual needs of "anti-caking + flavor/active ingredient retention" of essential oils, flavors, compound seasonings, and functional solid beverages, the ZLSIL® flavor carrier series takes "high specific surface area adsorption" as its core technology highlight. Compared with high adsorption models such as Sipernat 50/680, 8 brands can achieve an integrated solution of "powder stability + ingredient locking".
•Core technical parameters: Specific surface area 450-550 m²/g (far exceeding the general-purpose 190 m²/g), particle size 8-50μm gradient coverage, ensuring efficient adsorption of essential oils, spice extracts, probiotics and other ingredients;
•Adaptation of representative brands to scenes:
￮ZLSIL-W50S (particle size 18μm, specific surface area 500 m²/g): suitable for essential oil flavored solid beverages, with an adsorption efficiency of more than 90%, effectively inhibiting flavor volatilization;
￮ZLSIL-T38 (particle size 12μm, specific surface area 530 m²/g): specially designed for compound seasonings to avoid agglomeration of spice ingredients and ensure uniform flavor release;
￮ZLSIL-T28 (particle size 8μm, specific surface area 550 m²/g): small particle size suitable for instant coffee powder, taking into account adsorption and smooth taste;
•Packaging specifications: 10kg/bag (small batch high-end trial production) and 20kg/bag (large-scale production) are available in two specifications to meet the needs of different stages.

3. High-end customized solutions: meet high purity and special process adaptation needs

In response to the "high purity compliance, special process adaptation" needs of high-end categories such as health care products, infant food accessories, and high oil content foods, the ZLSIL® high-end customized series is technology-oriented with "low impurities, process customization", and the 6 brands cover segmented scenarios such as special particle size, high purity, and low oil absorption, filling the adaptation gap of conventional products.
•Core technology breakthroughs:
￮High-purity version (ZLSIL-P200): purity reaches 99.8% (regular version 99.5%), impurity content ≤0.005%, pH controlled in a narrow range of 6.5-7.0, suitable for strict compliance requirements of health products and infant food accessories;

￮Special particle size model (ZLSIL-A325): 325 mesh (particle size 45μm) standardized specifications, suitable for high-speed automated filling production lines, reducing the risk of pipeline blockage and improving production efficiency;
•Verification support: third-party testing reports (such as heavy metals and microbial indicators) can be provided to assist customers in completing product compliance certification.

4. Large-scale adaptation plan: matching the mass production needs of large enterprises

In response to the "large-volume purchasing, low-frequency turnover" needs of large-scale non-dairy creamer factories and seasoning companies, the ZLSIL® large-scale series focuses on "large packaging, stable parameters". The 7 brands follow the general/carrier type technical parameter system, and the packaging is upgraded to 20kg/bag, reducing loading and unloading costs and raw material losses.
•Representative brands: ZLSIL-58A, ZLSIL-W22, ZLSIL-E5162B (flavor carrier type parameters, 20kg/bag packaging);
•Supply chain guarantee: The monthly production capacity of a single brand reaches more than 300 tons, and long-term supply agreements can be signed to ensure the stability of raw materials for large-scale production.
The core technical advantages of the ZLSIL® system: precise adaptation, cost reduction and efficiency improvement
•Parameter controllability: particle size 8-50μm gradient coverage, specific surface area 140-550 m²/g selected on demand, pH 5.5-7.5 neutral range, key indicator fluctuations ≤±5%, ensuring accurate matching with customer food formulas;
•Clear benchmarking: Each brand is clearly benchmarked against mainstream models in the industry such as Sipernat, ZEOFREE, Grace, etc. Customers can directly replace the verification and shorten the technical debugging cycle;
•Service professionalization: Provide full-process services of "model recommendation - sample trial - process adaptation guidance - batch supply", and parameters can be adjusted according to customer formulas (such as customizing specific particle size, whiteness).
