PPG Silica Products for the Food Industry

Our Flo-Gard™ silicas are precipitated synthetic silicon dioxide products designed specifically for making granular and powdered food materials free-flowing. These products meet the criteria established by Food Chemicals CODEX and the Code of Federal Regulations. Flo-Gard™ silica products are chemically inert, have a neutral pH, are pure white and free-flowing, and do not affect the color, taste, odor or nature of the product. Our silicas are versatile, cost-effective alternatives to other flow conditioners because they provide equivalent anti-caking efficiency at lower loadings.

Flo-Gard™ silicas are effective across a wide variety of applications, including cheeses, non-dairy creamers, food flavors, seasonings, and as a tabletting aid for vitamin supplements. Out products are Kosher approved for Passover and suitable for year-round use.

Flo-Gard™ SP silica is highly absorptive and the most effective flow conditioning ingredient available for control of caking, compaction and flowability in most processed food products.

Flo-Gard ™ AB silica is specifically designed for use as an anti-caking agent for food products high in oils or fats, and also for converting hard-to-handle liquids into free flowing powders.

Flo-Gard ™ FF has the flexibility to be used as a flow-aid in both processed food products and for food products high in oils or fats.
