Description

Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate, Hydrated is a synthetic, amorphous aluminosilicate compound. This versatile material serves as a highly effective anti-caking agent, desiccant, and ion-exchange medium across multiple industries. It is essential for manufacturers requiring flowability enhancement, moisture control, or selective adsorption in their processes.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Widely used as an anti-caking agent (INS 556) in powdered products like table salt, milk powder, spices, and baking mixes to ensure free-flowing properties.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as an excipient in tablet and capsule formulations to improve powder flow and stability, and as a clarifying agent.
• Industrial & Chemical Manufacturing: Acts as a selective adsorbent, catalyst support, and desiccant in various chemical synthesis and purification processes.
• Animal Feed: Used as a flow aid and anti-caking agent in mineral premixes and feed supplements to prevent clumping.
• Detergents & Cleaning Products: Incorporated into powdered detergents and cleaning agents to maintain dryness and prevent caking during storage.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as an oil absorber, texture enhancer, and anti-caking agent in products like face powders and dry shampoos.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate, Hydrated is manufactured under a strict quality management system. We offer grades compliant with relevant food additive specifications (FCC, JECFA) and pharmaceutical standards where applicable. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistency in performance as an anti-caking agent. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
