Product Introduction
Food-Grade Synthetic Amorphous Silica (INS 551 / JECFA Grade) – Grain Storage Inert Dust Product Introduction
1. Product Advantages
Zhongqi Guangdong Silicon Material Co., Ltd. specializes in the R&D and production of high-purity JECFA-grade synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide (INS 551), specially developed as food-grade inert dust for grain storage protection. The product fully complies with JECFA food additive specifications, FDA 21 CFR food contact regulations, GB 25576-2020 and LS/T 1227-2022 national industry standards. It is engineered to solve prominent pain points in grain preservation, including chemical pesticide residues, pest drug resistance and storage equipment corrosion. Adopting a pure physical insecticidal mechanism and featuring precisely controlled particle size (D50: 3–12μm) and optimized BET specific surface area (120–220m²/g), the product achieves efficient, safe and residue-free grain protection without chemical agents or fumigation treatment.
With ultra-low heavy metal residues and excellent chemical inertness, our JECFA INS 551 silica ensures full food-grade safety and stable application performance. The core product advantages are listed below:
- JECFA & FDA Certified Food-Grade Safety: Compliant with JECFA INS 551 food additive standards and FDA 21 CFR food contact requirements; ultra-low heavy metal indicators (Pb ≤10ppm, As ≤3ppm), safe for direct grain contact with no residual pollution risks for raw grain.
- Pure Physical Insecticidal Mechanism: Effectively damages the wax layer on pest cuticles to trigger body dehydration and death. Zero chemical toxins, no pesticide residue, and completely avoids pest resistance caused by long-term chemical agent use.
- Broad-Spectrum Pest Control Efficacy: Applicable to all major stored-grain pests, including Sitophilus oryzae, Sitophilus zeamais, Tribolium castaneum, Rhyzopertha dominica and Plodia interpunctella, realizing comprehensive grain storage protection.
- Long-Lasting Protective Effect: Delivers stable efficacy for 6–12 months under dry storage conditions, with better persistent protection performance than traditional chemical grain protectants.
- Non-Corrosive & Equipment-Friendly: Features stable chemical inertness, causing no corrosion or damage to steel silos, ventilation pipelines and grain monitoring equipment.
- Customizable Particle Size Specification: Adjustable D50 particle size ranging from 3μm to 12μm, adaptable to multiple application scenarios including aerosol spraying, grain blending and protective barrier laying.
- Standardized GMP Production: Manufactured in GMP-certified clean production workshops to ensure stable batch purity and food-grade safety.
- Full-Cycle Technical Service: Provides free pre-sales sample testing and professional on-site construction & application technical guidance.
- Wide Industrial & Global Coverage: Widely applied in national grain depots, flour mills, rice processing plants and feed storage enterprises; export markets cover Southeast Asia, Europe, America, the Middle East and Russia/CIS regions.
