SiSiB® FS0202 is a high purity fumed silica used to control rheology and thixotropy of liquid systems. It can be used as an anti-settling, thickening and anti-sagging agent, improving the free-flow and anti-caking properties of powders.
SiSiB® FS0202 enhances properties such as tablet hardness and friability, and can be used as a desiccant for moisture-sensitive active ingredients.
SiSiB® FS0202 can also improve the distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
SiSiB® FS0202 does not affect the taste or natural color of powder formulations, and is an effective solution to improve powder properties while maintaining product integrity.
SiSiB® FS0202 is supplied in multiple layer 10 kg bags.
In the original unopened packaging, SiSiB® FS0202 has a shelf life of 24 months under dry conditions.
