PRODUCT DETAILS
1. Product Advantages
Our dedicated hydrated silica for toothpaste (SiO₂·nH₂O) complies strictly with GB/T 32673-2016, FDA and FCC international standards, serving as the dominant abrasive raw material for premium toothpaste markets worldwide. It features a porous spherical microstructure. Thanks to its hydrated molecular structure, its abrasion performance can be precisely tuned with an RDA value ranging from 30 to 150, covering all application scenarios from ultra-gentle daily care to professional whitening formulas. Boasting low Mohs hardness, it poses minimal risk of damage to tooth enamel. This product delivers outstanding compatibility with key toothpaste active ingredients including fluorides and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp). As a core raw material for transparent gel toothpaste, it endows paste with high clarity and transparency while retaining excellent cleansing and polishing capacity. The paste system maintains stable performance across all temperature ranges without delamination or water separation.

3. Application Scenarios
Specially developed for high-end oral care products, this material is ideal for transparent gel toothpaste, professional whitening toothpaste, ultra-mild children’s toothpaste, anti-sensitive toothpaste and fluoride-free nHAp toothpaste.
- For transparent toothpaste: It forms a high-transmittance gel system to achieve crystal-clear, attractive paste appearance.
- For whitening toothpaste: Its porous structure adsorbs extrinsic stains from tea, coffee and other sources; paired with customizable abrasion index, it enables gentle whitening effects.
- For children’s toothpaste: Custom ultra-mild grades with RDA<80 are available to meet gentle oral care demands for kids.
- For nHAp fluoride-free toothpaste: It works synergistically with nano-hydroxyapatite to boost enamel remineralization, making it the preferred abrasive for premium fluoride-free toothpaste.

6. FAQ
Q1: What is the core difference between hydrated silica and ordinary anhydrous silica?
A1: Hydrated silica contains bound water within its molecular structure and features a porous spherical shape. It delivers milder, finely adjustable abrasion with much lower enamel damage risk, plus superior compatibility with all active ingredients in toothpaste. It is the only abrasive capable of producing transparent gel toothpaste and remains the mainstream choice for premium toothpaste markets globally.
Q2: Can hydrated silica be used in fluoride-free toothpaste?
A2: Absolutely. Our product shows excellent compatibility with core fluoride-free ingredients such as nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) and calcium phosphate, and can synergistically enhance enamel remineralization, making it an ideal abrasive for high-end fluoride-free toothpaste.
Q3: What is the shelf life of hydrated silica?
A3: The shelf life is 24 months when stored in a cool, dry environment. Once opened, reseal the package tightly to avoid moisture absorption which may impair powder performance.
