Akshar’s precipitated silica is highly stable and used as an anti-caking agent in detergent powders. Produced through the precipitation process, precipitated silica is created by reacting an alkaline silicate solution with a mineral acid.
Sulfuric acid and sodium silicate solutions are simultaneously added to water with agitation. This silica improves pigment dispersion, acts as a parting agent, and serves as an absorbent to enhance flow, giving the compound a dry feel.
