Silicon Dioxide anti-caking food grade. Fine white powder with a minimum SiO₂ content of 99.8%. Works as an anti-caking additive that improves flowability, prevents clumping in the presence of moisture, and extends product shelf life by absorbing ambient humidity. Offers excellent performance in rheology and thixotropy control in liquid systems, polymers, binders, and thickeners. Applications: ingredients, dairy and derivatives, soups, sauces, confectionery, bakery, paints, and inks. Properties: specific surface area 180–220 m²/g, bulk density approx. 50 g/L, moisture ≤ 1.5%, pH (4% sol.) 3.5–4.5, SiO₂ content > 99.80%. CAS 7631-86-9. Also known as silicon oxide, pure silica, or quartz. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.
