Product Application
  • SYLOID 72 silica is a moderate pore volume silica gel with large internal surface area.
  • It has a strong affinity for moisture and organic based liquids across a broad range of conditions.
  • SYLOID 72 silica can adsorb up to 1.1 ml of liquid per gram.
  • SYLOID 72 silica is particularly recommended as a glidant and tableting aid in nutraceuticals, as a carrier for liquids and to provide free-flow and anticaking properties to hygroscopic powders.
  • SYLOID 72 silica exhibits good moisture pickup over a broader range of moisture levels than practically any other silica.
  • It has excellent compatibility with active ingredients.
