The value of Huber silicas and silicates
Huber's Precipitated silica and silicate products solve common problems in the production
and processing of powder products. With Huber silica you can achieve:
- Increased throughput: improved production rates can translate to increased capacity and lower unit costs
- Decreased lumping: maintaining the free-flowing quality of your powders can result in less equipment maintenance, less reject or off-spec product and longer shelf life
- Consistent quality: your customers can count on the consistent, improved quality of your powder products
- Reduced dusting: not only will reduced dusting improve the work environment in your plant, it will also improve the ease of packaging
How do Huber silica products work?
Huber silica products work as free-flow / anti-caking agents by:
- Coating the surface of powder thereby reducing interparticle interactions
- Interspersing and preventing interparticle interactions
- Perferentially absorbing moisture to prevent bridging between particles
- Absorbing oils and similar compounds to prevent non-aqueous bridging

The best ways to incorporate silica products into a Powdered Product
Huber silica products must be blended carefully with the powdered product. For free-flow applications, many times the flow agent can be added just prior to the spray dryer (or drying step) to ensure good contact with the substrate. Metering equipment is recommended to control dosing. Always store Huber products in a clean, dry storage environment.
