pH Value 6.0–8.0 (5% aqueous suspension)
Specific Surface Area 50–400 m²/g (adjustable by grade)
3. Applications
  • Food Industry: Anti-caking agent (E551) for powders, spices, and baking mixes; flow aid for food additives.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Excipient for tablet formulations to improve flowability and compressibility; carrier for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
  • Industrial & Chemical Industry: Reinforcing filler for rubber, plastics, and coatings; thickener for adhesives and sealants; abrasive in polishing agents.
  • Cosmetics Industry: Matting agent in skincare and makeup products; absorbent in talcum powder and deodorants.
4. Storage and Handling
  • Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse; keep away from moisture, strong acids, and hydrofluoric acid. Seal the package tightly to prevent dust dispersion and caking.
  • Handling Precautions: Wear dust-proof respirator, gloves, and goggles during operation. Avoid inhalation of dust, which may cause respiratory irritation. Clean up spilled powder promptly with a vacuum cleaner (avoid sweeping to prevent dust spread).
5. Stability and Reactivity
  • Stability: Chemically stable under normal storage and use conditions; non-flammable, non-explosive.
  • Incompatibility: Reacts with hydrofluoric acid to produce toxic silicon tetrafluoride gas; avoid contact with strong alkalis for long periods.
  • Hazardous Decomposition Products: No hazardous decomposition products under normal use; may produce silicon oxide fumes at high temperatures (>1800 °C).
6. Quality Standards
  • Food Grade: Complies with FCC (Food Chemicals Codex), EU E551 standards.
  • Pharmaceutical Grade: Meets USP (United States Pharmacopeia), EP (European Pharmacopoeia) specifications.
  • Industrial Grade: Conforms to industry standards for rubber and plastic filler applications.
7. Packaging
  • Standard Packaging: 25 kg net weight in polyethylene-lined kraft paper bags or woven polypropylene bags; 1000 kg in bulk FIBC bags.
  • Custom Packaging: 1 kg, 5 kg food/pharma-grade plastic bottles available for small-batch orders.
8. Transportation Information
  • Hazard Classification: Non-hazardous chemical (not regulated as dangerous goods for transportation).
  • Transport Precautions: Prevent package breakage during transit; avoid mixing with hydrofluoric acid and strong acids. Protect from rain and moisture during transportation.

 

 

Particle Size Range Product Type Key Performance Characteristics Typical Applications Quality Control Focus
5–20 nm Fumed silica (pyrogenic silica) Ultra-high specific surface area (150–400 m²/g); excellent thickening, thixotropy and reinforcing properties 1. Silicone rubber & elastomers: Reinforcing filler to improve tensile strength and tear resistance2. Coatings & adhesives: Anti-settling agent and thickener for high-end coatings and sealants3. Pharmaceuticals: Carrier for sustained-release APIs - Specific surface area- Dispersibility in organic systems- Carbon content
0.1–1 μm Precipitated silica (ultrafine grade) Good dispersibility; moderate reinforcing effect; cost-effective 1. Tires & rubber products: Reinforcing filler for green tires to improve wear resistance2. Toothpaste: Abrasive to clean teeth without damaging enamel3. Agricultural chemicals: Anti-caking agent for pesticide wettable powders - Oil absorption value- Particle size distribution- pH value
1–10 μm Precipitated silica (fine grade) Optimal flowability; good anti-caking performance 1. Food industry: Anti-caking agent (E551) for powdered foods, spices and baking mixes2. Feed industry: Flow aid for feed additives3. Cosmetics: Matting agent for foundation and powder products - Flow rate- Moisture content- Heavy metal content (meets food/pharma standards)
10–50 μm Ground silica (industrial grade) High hardness; stable chemical properties 1. Construction materials: Additive for cement and concrete to improve compressive strength2. Abrasives: Raw material for sandpaper and polishing pastes3. Plastics: Filler for PVC and PP to improve dimensional stability - Hardness (Mohs scale)- Particle size uniformity- Acid insolubles
Key Selection Guidelines
  1. For reinforcement and thickening requirements (e.g., rubber, coatings), choose nano-scale fumed silica.
  2. For food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, prioritize 1–10 μm food/pharma grade precipitated silica to ensure compliance with safety standards.
  3. For cost-sensitive industrial filling scenarios, 10–50 μm ground silica is the preferred economical option.
