It is multifunctional and will make the manufacturing process easier. Silicon dioxide is an inert ingredient. This means it won’t react with the other ingredients you are using or substances in the body. It makes both manufacturing and digestion easier. It’s popular because it increases flowability and stops caking on tooling.Silicon dioxide absorbs moisture from its surroundings, making it desirable for food, comspetics, and pharmaceuticals. The different benefits work together to create an easier and smoother manufacturing process.Silicon dioxide's high porosity allows it to absorb up to 300g of fluid per 100g of silica. This means that liquid ingredients can turn into free flowing powders with ease. It acts as a glidant, a substance used in a formula to improve its flow qualities. It ensures that the product flows through machinery and doesn’t stick to the equipment. Using silica will also increase the stability of moisture sensitive API’s. An API is an “active pharmaceutical ingredient.” This ability will reduce trace quantities of moisture which can cause machinery degradation. It has a unique moisture absorption. This encourages quick tableting due to it's resistance to capping and sticking.Silicon dioxide, also known as quartz, is everywhere on earth and makes up 60% of the Earth’s crust and 93% of known rocks. It is found in our body tissues, plants and in our food. Silicon dioxide deficiency can result in poor bone formation, unhealthy skin and teeth.It is important to handle Silicon dioxide correctly to increase the products shelf life and keep people safe. Exposure can irritate eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation and wear a mack whilst handling it. It will stay in excellent condition until it’s ready for use when handled properly.Silicon dioxide is a multifunctional, popular excipient. It is effective and makes the manufacturing process more efficient.
