Discover GRACE SYLOID® 63, a high-performance synthetic amorphous silica engineered by W. R. Grace & Co. for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. Designed for excellence in functionality, safety, and adaptability, this premium additive sets new standards in anti-caking, carrier systems, and material enhancement.
Core Features & Technical Excellence
- Physical Properties:
- A free-flowing white powder with uniform particle size (D50: 10–20μm) and low bulk density (0.15–0.35g/cm³), ensuring easy handling in production lines.
- A highly porous gel-type structure with a large surface area (200–300m²/g), enabling superior adsorption of liquids and gases.
- Exceptional chemical stability: pH 2.1–9.0 (10% suspension), insoluble in water/organic solvents, and resistant to acids/alkalis.
- Purity & Performance:
- SiO₂ content ≥99.8%, heavy metals ≤10ppm (Pb), compliant with FDA 21 CFR §182.2724 and EU EC 1223/2009.
- Outstanding hygroscopicity: Absorbs 15–20% of its weight in moisture at 25℃, 80% RH within 24h, outperforming traditional anti-caking agents.
- Optimal flowability: Angle of repose ≤30°, minimizing downtime and improving conveying efficiency.
Diverse Applications Across Industries
Regulatory Compliance & Global Trust
- Food Safety:FDA GRAS-listed, EU EC 1223/2009 compliant, and certified Kosher/Halal for inclusive markets.
- Pharmaceutical Standards:Manufactured in cGMP facilities, meeting USP-NF, EP, and ICH Q3D guidelines for elemental impurities.
Technical Edge Over Competitors
SYLOID 63 outperforms traditional silica and precipitated grades with:
- 2X higher moisture absorption
- Sharper flowability (≤30° vs. 35–45° for conventional products)
- Mesoporous design for precise controlled-release applications
Global Supply & Custom Solutions
- Localized Production:cGMP facilities in the US, Europe, and China ensure reliable supply in 20kg bags or bulk totes.
- Tailored Services:Grace’s technical team adjusts particle size, pore volume, and surface treatment for specific needs—from high oil absorption (80% loading) to low-dust formulations.
Stay Ahead with Innovation
- Clean Label & Sustainability:Aligns with “clean label” trends as a natural mineral additive, using closed-loop water systems to reduce carbon footprint, compliant with EU REACH.
- Future-Ready R&D:Developing pH/temperature-responsive carriers and nanoscale variants (<100nm) for advanced material science.
