What is Aerosil used for?

What is Aerosil used for?

Hydrophilic and hydrophobic AEROSIL fumed silica grades are used in many liquid systems for viscosity control, anti-sag and anti-settling behavior, and for general rheological enhancement.

Is Aerosil safe?

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use. Stable under recommended storage conditions. Possibility of hazardous reactions See Sect. 10.1 Reactivity.

What is Aerosil silica?

Aerosil® is a colloidal form of silica that is a very light and fluffy powder. It is made by burning silicon tetrachloride in a hydrogen-oxygen furnace. This produces spherical particles; the particle size can be controlled and varying grades are available ranging in size from 4 to 25 micrometers.

What is the chemical name of Aerosil?

Why Aerosil is used in tablet?

1.1 Effect of coating agent. Aerosil® R972’s stabilizing effect compared to Aerosil® 200 was assumed to be associated with its hydrophobic surface property, which might have resulted in reduced moisture uptake. Thus, Aerosil® R972 was selected to be the coating agent for manufacturing prototype tablet formulations.

Is Aerosil an excipient?

AEROSIL® R 972 Pharma is a high purity, amorphous, anhydrous, hydrophobic colloidal silica for use as an excipient in pharmaceutical products (tested according to Ph. Eur. and USP/NF monographs).

Is aerosil hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

AEROSIL® R 974 is a hydrophobic fumed silica aftertreated with DDS (Dimethyldichlorosilane) based on a hydrophilic fumed silica with a specific surface area of 200 m2/g.

Is Aerosil A Glidant?

Colloidal silicon dioxide (trade name AEROSIL) is widely used as a glidant in the manufacture of powders, capsules, and tablets [8, 9] . The flow-enhancing effect of a new compacted, hydrophilic colloidal silicon dioxide on microcrystalline cellulose and pregelatinized starch was studied in the work of Jonat et al.

What is the difference between silica gel and fumed silica?

In contrast to silica-gel, this method of production creates negligible internal surface area, devoid of strong primary particle polymerization. Fumed silica, structurally, has no gap among particles and is weakly agglomerated together with minimal internal surface area.

What is cabosil powder?

Fumed Silica (aka Cabosil) is an extremely fine powder used to thicken virtually every liquid material. It is typically used to thicken resin, paint, dyes, and even water.

What is cabosil made of?

Cab-O-Sil is an aerosol silica that can be mixed with most liquids to form a thick colloidal suspension. Also called Fumed silica, it is a very light, fluffy white powder that is made by hydrogen-oxygen furnace combustion of silicon tetrachloride.

Is Aerosil fumed silica?

What is the chemical name of Aerosil 200?

Trade name AEROSIL® 200 Chemical Name Silicon dioxide, chemically prepared CAS-No. 112945-52-5, 7631-86-9 1.2. Recommended use of the chemical and restrictions on use 1.3. Details of the supplier of the safety data sheet

Where is Aerosil 200 Pharma manufactured in Germany?

What kind of chemical is Aerosil your 972 Pharma?

AEROSIL® R 9200 is a structure modified, hydrophobic fumed silica. AEROSIL® R 972 Pharma is a high purity, amorphous, anhydrous, hydrophobic colloidal silica for use as an excipient in pharmaceutical products (tested according to Ph. Eur. and USP/NF monographs).

What kind of silicon dioxide is Aerosil 200 VV Pharma?

AEROSIL® 200 VV Pharma is a high purity amorphous anhydrous colloidal silicon dioxide with a high tapped density for use in pharmaceutical products (tested according to USP/NF and Ph. Eur. Monograph 0434). AEROSIL® 255 is a hydrophilic fumed silica with a specific surface area of 255 m2/g.
