Aerosil 200 is a high-purity, hydrophilic fumed silica produced by the hydrolysis of silicon halides in a hydrogen-oxygen flame. It is a light, amorphous, white powder with a massive surface area of approximately 200 m2g. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is primarily valued as the industry-standard Glidant. By coating the surfaces of active particles, it reduces inter-particle friction and prevents static charges, ensuring an optimized and uniform flow of powders during high-speed tablet compression and capsule filling.
Powder flow improvement (Glidant).
Prevents bridging and sticking in hoppers; ensures dose weight uniformity in every unit.
Carrier for viscous oils.
Its high adsorptive capacity allows for the conversion of oils or liquid APIs into free-flowing, compressible powders.
Viscosity adjustment (Thickening).
Provides structural viscosity and prevents phase separation in semi-solid preparations.
Anti-caking agent.
Creates a physical network that prevents solid particles from forming a hard "cake" at the bottom of the bottle.
The product fully complies with the requirements specified in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and/or food standards (FCC).
As an inert material, it does not react with most APIs, ensuring long-term drug stability.
Rigorously tested for heavy metals, chlorides, and moisture content (Loss on Drying).
Effective at very low concentrations (typically 0.1% to 1.0%), minimizing the impact on the final tablet size.
