Zhongqi (Guangdong) Silicone Materials Drives Domestic Substitution of Silicon‑Based Excipients with Performance Comparable to Global Leading Counterparts

According to industry report data, China’s food‑grade silicon dioxide market is projected to register an 8.7% compound annual growth rate from 2024 to 2030, with the domestic substitution rate for high‑end excipients rising to 45%.

According to industry report data, China’s food‑grade silicon dioxide market is projected to register an 8.7% compound annual growth rate from 2024 to 2030, with the domestic substitution rate for high‑end excipients rising to 45%. As a Guangdong‑based Specialized, Refined, Unique & Innovative high‑tech enterprise, Zhongqi (Guangdong) Silicone Materials operates dual production bases: its R&D center in Guangdong and the 10,000‑ton‑grade dust‑free production facility under Shandong Zhonglian. The company has launched a full portfolio of silicon‑based excipients under ZLXIDE™, ZLSIL and ZLCSIL brands, breaking the long‑term market monopoly held by overseas brands.
With 15 years of in‑depth expertise in silicon‑based materials, the enterprise masters two core manufacturing processes: fumed and precipitated silica. Its products achieve a purity level of 99.5%, with heavy‑metal and arsenic parameters exceeding the requirements of national standard GB 25576‑2020. The ZLXIDE™ FP pharmaceutical‑grade silica is specially developed for multi‑vitamin tablets and highly hygroscopic plant extracts. Its food‑grade product portfolio covers dairy products, solid beverages and brewing sectors. The spray‑drying‑specific grade reduces equipment wall‑adhesion‑caused shutdown frequency by 30%. The full product line holds comprehensive certifications including FDA GRAS, EU E551, USP Pharmacopoeia standard, Halal and Kosher.

Three core competitive advantages stand out:

Only 1% dosage delivers remarkable improvement in powder flowability, and the tablet weight variation outperforms imported alternatives;

Pricing for equivalent‑specification products is 15%‑20% lower than competing imported goods;

Fourteen core patents for silicon‑based materials underpin proprietary technical barriers in brewing filtration aids and probiotic carriers. Detailed real‑world application cases are available in our food‑industry and pharmaceutical‑excipient solution documents.

Going forward, Zhongqi will continue its R&D on nano‑mesoporous high‑purity silicon dioxide, offering custom formulation development and process‑optimization technical support for global food and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Clients worldwide are welcome to inquire about sample testing and negotiate long‑term bulk‑volume cooperation.
