Lumping is a thing of the past – silica keeps things flowing
When processing and storing food, effective protection against clumping is crucial – for longer shelf life and consistent product quality.
Functional additives such as silica are well established in the food industry and offer numerous advantages:
- Homogeneous mixing with consistent filling weight
- Adsorption of excess moisture from the air
- Improved flowability and reliable protection against clumping

Nordmann partner W. R. Grace offers high-quality silica products for food processing under the SYLOID® and PERKASIL® brands:
SYLOID®
- SYLOID® FP: For spices, herbs, and powders – prevents lumping, improves flowability
- SYLOID® XDP: Converts liquid ingredients into free-flowing powders – ideal for liquisolid formulations
- SYLOID® 244 FP: Stabilizes flavors by protecting against oxidation – for longer shelf life
PERKASIL®
- For oily or hygroscopic ingredients – prevents lumping
- Ensures homogeneity and precise dosing
We would be happy to provide you with more detailed information about the different types.
