Core Applications

This grade delivers reliable glidant and anti-caking performance for conventional oral solid dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, and granules. It effectively addresses common manufacturing challenges such as powder caking and poor flowability during compression and encapsulation. It exhibits excellent compatibility with a wide range of APIs and pharmaceutical excipients, with no adverse impact on the efficacy, stability, or quality of the final drug product.

Manufacturing Advantages

We operate a dedicated 10,000-ton annual capacity production line for pharmaceutical silicon dioxide, fully compliant with pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Every batch undergoes full in-process quality testing for critical pharmacopoeia parameters to ensure consistent product quality. With stable production capacity and a standard lead time of 7–10 days, we reliably fulfill bulk and regular procurement needs for pharmaceutical manufacturers, with an excellent cost-performance ratio.
