PRODUCT DETAILS
1. Product Description
Pharmaceutical Grade Precipitated Silicon Dioxide is a high-purity medicinal excipient refined via a premium precipitation process, manufactured in full compliance with pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). All critical indicators align with the requirements of the world’s leading pharmacopoeias, including the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP), United States Pharmacopeia (USP), and European Pharmacopoeia (EP). Featuring uniform particle size distribution, excellent dispersibility, and strictly controlled heavy metal and microbial residues well below pharmacopoeial limits, this product delivers core glidant, anti-caking, and dispersion functionalities. With stable physicochemical properties and low dosage requirements, it is a cost-effective, universal excipient for the production of solid pharmaceutical dosage forms, ideally suited for bulk procurement by global pharmaceutical manufacturers.

3. Application
This product is optimally designed for large-scale production of various solid oral dosage forms. As a glidant and anti-caking agent for tablets, capsules, granules, and powders, it effectively reduces inter-particle friction, eliminates sticking during tableting, wall sticking during production, and caking during storage, while improving the precision of capsule filling and tableting processes. It exhibits no interaction with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and its addition does not adversely impact the disintegration and dissolution profiles of finished dosage forms. It is widely used in the production of generic chemical drugs and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations.
4. Manufacturing Advantages
Our facility operates a mature, intelligent production line for pharmaceutical-grade precipitated silicon dioxide, certified with pharmaceutical GMP and ISO9001 standards. We are equipped with pharmacopoeia-compliant testing equipment for dedicated inspection of particle size and dispersibility of precipitated powders, ensuring minimal batch-to-batch variation and stable production capacity. With years of experience supplying pharmaceutical excipients to overseas markets, we export to over 30 countries and regions, with a lead time of 5-10 days to meet bulk procurement demands.
