Pharma & Food Grade Silica

High-purity porous synthetic silica for pharmaceutical and food applications — engineered as a carrier, glidant and processing aid.

Overview

This family is built on high-purity synthetic silica with a controllable porous structure. It is designed for applications where regulatory fit, consistency and functional reliability matter as much as physical performance.

As a carrier, it converts liquid and oily actives into free-flowing, compressible powders. As a glidant and anti-caking aid, it keeps formulations moving — through the hopper, the press and the shelf.

  • Carrier for liquid & oily actives (oils, vitamins, botanical extracts)
  • Glidant and anti-caking agent in powder blends
  • Support for disintegration and controlled-release concepts
  • Flow improvement in direct-compression processes

Performance Highlights

What This Material Does for You

High Liquid-Carrying Capacity

A porous internal structure that absorbs and immobilises liquid actives while keeping the powder free-flowing.

Tunable Absorption Profile

Pore architecture can be adjusted toward fast uptake or gentle, protection-oriented loading.

Purity & Trace Element Control

Synthesis and handling are organised around purity requirements of pharma and food frameworks.

Surface Chemistry Options

Hydrophilic standard surface; modified surfaces available for moisture-sensitive actives.

Formulation-Relevant Testing

We evaluate flow, compressibility and loading behaviour — the properties your process actually feels.

Documentation Support

Technical dossiers and regulatory-supporting documents are prepared to your market's needs.

Compliance Pathways

  • Food additive frameworks (E 551) with full supporting documentation
  • Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) requirements
  • Pharmacopoeia-aligned documentation (USP-NF / Ph. Eur.)
  • REACH and regional chemical inventory support

Packaging & Supply

Standard packaging: multi-layer bags with inner liner; big-bag options for volume supply.

Typical supply modes: ex-works, FOB or delivered, depending on region.

Samples: evaluation quantities available upon request.
