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
