Thola i-Solvay's Innovative Food-Grade Silica: Izixazululo Ezinokuhlala, Ezisezingeni Eliphezulu Zemboni Yokudla

Kwadalwa ngo 07.01

Solvay's food-grade silica business, centered on technological innovation and sustainable development, holds a significant position in the global food additives market. Its products not only meet stringent food safety standards but also drive the industry's transition to a circular economy through bio-based raw materials and low-carbon processes. The following is a detailed explanation from aspects such as product characteristics, application scenarios, certification compliance, sustainable practices, and latest developments:

I. Core Products and Technical Characteristics

Solvay's food-grade silica is represented by the Tixosil® series, covering various 细分 models such as T38A and 68B FCC. These products have the following notable characteristics:

Effiziente Anti-Klumpenbildung und Fluiditätsoptimierung

The Tixosil® series adsorbs free moisture through a nano-scale porous structure (average particle size of 16 microns) to prevent powder caking. For example, adding 1% T38A to non-dairy cream powder can reduce caking by 80%, while improving powder fluidity and reducing the frequency of cleaning production equipment. This feature makes it widely used in easily caking products such as milk powder, non-dairy creamer, and instant coffee. For instance, adding it to soup mixes can reduce packaging weight differences by 30%.

Multifunctionele Sinergistiese Effekte

Ngaphezu kokuvimbela ukuhlanganiswa, i-Tixosil® iphinde isebenze njengomgibeli weprotein, ongakha inethiwekhi ye-colloidal ye-nano-scale emikhiqizweni yobisi enokuthile ukuze iqinise isakhiwo seprotein futhi ivimbele ukuhluza. Ekukhiqizeni ama-noodle ashisayo, inciphisa isikhathi sokubuyisela emuva ngama-15% ngokuvimba ngokomzimba ukuhlela kabusha kwezakhi zofuzo ze-starch futhi ifaka ukunambitheka okuhle. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amamodeli athile (njenge-Tixosil Soft Clean™) sekwaba izinto zokwakha ezikhethwayo zamathoyizi ezinhliziyo zabantwana kanye nemikhiqizo yokunakekela amazinyo abuthakathaka ngenxa yezici zawo zokungcwatshwa okuphansi (ubunzima be-Mohs ≤ 4).

High Purity and Safety

Solvay's food-grade silica has a purity of ≥ 99%, complying with FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and EU E551 standards, with heavy metal content controlled below lead ≤ 2ppm and arsenic ≤ 1ppm. Tixosil 68B FCC has also obtained Kosher and Halal certifications, meeting the needs of global diversified markets.

II. Izimo Zokusebenza kanye Nokungena Emakethe

Ukucubungula Ukudla

Powdered products: Adding 0.5-1% T38A to instant rice can inhibit starch retrogradation, reduce the hardness of refrigerated rice by 20%, and improve the dispersion of rice grains. In seasoning powders, it reduces the volatile loss of essential oil components during processing through adsorption, extending the fragrance retention time by 30%.
Dairy products and alternatives: In plant-based milk, Tixosil® prevents protein aggregation through steric hindrance, keeping the product uniform after high-temperature sterilization. For example, after a certain brand of oat milk adopted Tixosil 68B FCC, its shelf life was extended from 6 months to 12 months.
Baking and snack foods: In baking premixes, as a carrier for leavening agents, it can increase the gas production efficiency of baking powder by 15% and improve dough extensibility.

Pet Food and Feed

Solvay has developed high-fluidity silica specifically designed for pet dry food, which can reduce friction between particles and improve the filling accuracy of automatic packaging equipment to ±1%. In aquatic feed, it enhances particle strength as a binder, reducing the 溃散 rate in water by 40% and lowering aquaculture water pollution.

Sustainable Material Innovation

Ngokuphela kuka-2024, iSolvay iqale i-bio-circular silica emshinini wayo eLivorno e-Italy, isebenzisa uthuli lwezimpande zerezi ukuze ibuyisele izinto zokwakha ezijwayelekile ze-silica. Le nqubo ayixazululi kuphela inkinga yezindleko zokuhamba eziphezulu zezimfuno zerezi kodwa futhi yehlisa ukukhishwa kwe-CO₂ ngama-ton angu-50% ngezinhlanganisela zamandla avuselelekayo. Okwamanje, le msebenzi sekwangene esigabeni sokuhlola amasampula sokudla kwezilwane nezokudla okusebenzayo, kanti kunezinhlelo zokukhiqiza ngobuningi obukhulu ngo-2025.

III. Certifikasie Nakoming en Volhoubare Praktyke

International Certification System

Solvay's food-grade silica has obtained multiple authoritative certifications:

FCC certification: Tixosil 68B FCC complies with the standards of the Food Chemicals Codex, suitable for applications in direct contact with food.
Kosher na Halal certifikate: Ezinye imodeli zithole izitifiketi zamaJuda kanye neHalal, zifaka imakethe eMpumalanga Ephakathi, eNingizimu-East Asia, njll.
ISCC PLUS certification: Although not directly certifying food-grade products, Solvay ensures the traceability of bio-based raw materials in the supply chain through the mass balance method, helping customers meet sustainable requirements such as the EU "New Battery Regulation".

Uphgrades yeMaitiro eKugadzira

Energy transition: The electric furnace invested and built by the Collonges plant in France will be put into operation in 2025, driven by green electricity, which is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 20%.
Circular economy: Iphrojekthi ye-bio-circular silica e-Livorno ingasebenzisa ama-toni angama-50,000 we-ash ye-rice husk ngonyaka, efana nokufaka esikhundleni sama-toni angama-30,000 wokumbiwa kwe-silica kwendabuko, ngenkathi idala inani elisha lempahla yezolimo.
