PRODUCT DETAILS
1. Product Advantages
Our product is silica specially developed as an abrasive for toothpaste, serving as the core functional raw material for cleaning in toothpaste formulations. It strictly complies with GB/T 32673-2016, FDA and FCC standards. Optimized for abrasive cleaning performance, it features narrow particle size distribution and uniform particle morphology, with customizable RDA values ranging from 80 to 200. It effectively removes dental plaque, food residues, as well as extrinsic stains including tea stains, tobacco stains and coffee stains. Meanwhile, its Mohs hardness is controlled at 2.5–3.0, lower than that of tooth enamel, avoiding excessive abrasion to enamel.
With moderate specific surface area and high cleaning efficiency, it shows excellent compatibility with active ingredients such as fluorides and antibacterial agents, synergistically enhancing anti-cavity and antibacterial effects. It is the preferred abrasive raw material for various functional toothpastes.

3. Application Scenarios
As a core abrasive, it is widely used in all types of toothpaste, especially suitable for formulations requiring strong cleaning power, such as whitening toothpaste, stain-removing toothpaste, anti-cavity toothpaste, herbal toothpaste and special toothpaste for smokers.
- For whitening toothpaste: Effectively eliminate extrinsic stains including tea, coffee and tobacco stains, and restore the natural whiteness of teeth via mild polishing.
- For anti-cavity toothpaste: Removes dental plaque without interfering with the remineralization of fluorides to strengthen anti-cavity performance.
- For smokers’ toothpaste: Grades with high RDA values deliver deep cleaning to remove heavy tobacco and tea stains.
- For children’s toothpaste: Low-RDA grades (80–100) balance cleaning performance and enamel protection for kids.

6. FAQs
Q: Does a higher RDA value mean better cleaning performance?
A: Higher RDA corresponds to stronger abrasive cleaning power, yet higher RDA is not always better. For daily toothpaste, RDA is recommended below 150. Long-term use of products with excessively high RDA may lead to enamel abrasion and dentin hypersensitivity. We provide graded products covering 80–200 RDA, and suitable specifications can be selected according to target consumer groups and product positioning.
Q: Can abrasive silica be mixed with thickening silica?
A: Yes. In practical toothpaste formulas, abrasive silica is commonly used together with thickening silica. Abrasive silica undertakes cleaning functions, while thickening silica shapes and stabilizes the paste. Our technical team can offer optimal mixing ratios based on formulation requirements.
Q: How to verify the cleaning performance of abrasives?
A: Cleaning performance can be verified via RDA testing, stain removal tests, plaque removal tests and other methods. Our laboratory provides relevant testing support to assist customers with formulation validation.
