Colloidal Silicon Dioxide
Low Bulk Density
INTRODUCTION
Colloidal silicon dioxide is an ideal excipient for solid dosage pharmaceutical applications such as powders, tablets, and capsules. The synthetic amorphous precipitated silica is a fine white odorless powder, chemically inert, non-toxic, and free from impurity. It complies with USP, BP, and IP1996 monographs. Since Madhu Silica’s Colloidal Silicon Dioxide is produced through a precipitation process, it contains no nanoparticles unlike traditional fumed silicas.FUNCTIONS & BENEFITS
- Excellent flow and anti-caking agent for powders and powdered mixtures.
- As a glidant in tablets, it improves hardness, friability, disintegration, weight uniformity, and mechanical stability.
- Contains no nanoparticles.
