- HIGHLIGHTS
SIPERNAT® 45 S enhances flowability and prolongs the shelf life of powdered substances which are liable to caking, especially those with a high fat content. It also acts as a high absorbency carrier in case particle fineness is needed in addition to high concentration.
- Storage Information
Silica products are inert and extremely chemically stable. However, due to their high specific surface area, they can absorb moisture and volatile organic compounds from the surrounding atmosphere. Therefore, we recommend storing the products in sealed packages in a cool, dry location and removed from volatile substances. Even if the product is stored under these conditions, after a longer period ambient moisture can accumulate, which could lead to the product exceeding its specified moisture content.
