Product Description
Colloidal Silicon Dioxide marketed by PAR DRUGS AND CHEMICALS LIMITED is an excipient, which is also a pharmacologically inactive substance. It is formulated from silicon dioxide that is found in quartz or sand and silicates that are found in plants, animals, and water. Therefore, it is safe to consume by humans. Our Colloidal Silicon Dioxide is primarily used as a glidant, disintegrant, absorbent, and anti-caking agent, allowing powder to flow independently when the medicines are processed. Numerous over the counter medicines such as Acyclovir, Furosemide, Hydrochlorothiazide, Indomethacin, Meprobamates, etc., are made with this silicon dioxide compound.
Premium Pharmaceutical Grade QualityOur Colloidal Silicon Dioxide meets strict pharmaceutical standards, guaranteeing high purity (99% min) and consistent physical properties. The precipitated manufacturing process ensures a fine particle size between 5-25 nm, making it ideal as a glidant and anti-caking agent in sensitive formulations. With robust quality control and traceability, you receive a product suitable for demanding industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
Secure Packaging and Extended Shelf LifeEach batch is packed in durable 25 kg HDPE bags, providing enhanced protection against physical damage and environmental exposure. The product offers a shelf life of two years under recommended storage conditions, ensuring long-term usability and minimal waste. Proper packaging and stability are maintained from manufacturer to end-user, supporting reliable supply for large-scale operations.
Versatile Applications in IndustryColloidal Silicon Dioxide is valued for its multifunctional properties. Its primary uses include improving powder flow (as a glidant), preventing lump formation (as an anti-caking agent), and acting as an efficient absorbent. It is a key ingredient in pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing and food processing, designed to enhance final product quality and consistency.
FAQ's of Colloidal Silicon Dioxide:
