Silica

Silica Gel & Precipitated Silica

Browse our selection of silica-based materials, including silica gel and precipitated silica. Used in chromatography, drying, stabilization, and formulation across pharmaceuticals, food processing, cosmetics, and electronics, these materials are available in multiple mesh sizes, pore structures, and grades for tailored performance.

Applications & Use Cases

  • Chromatography & purification: Consistent particle size and surface chemistry for flash, preparative, and column work.
  • Drying & moisture control: Silica gel for packaging, cabinets, and process protection across humidity ranges.
  • Formulation & flow: Precipitated silica to improve powder flow, anti-caking, and uniform dosing.
  • Texture & stabilization: Sensory modification and rheology support in creams, gels, and coatings.

Why Choose Sorbents Direct

  • Targeted grades: Indicating/non-indicating silica gel; precipitated silica with tuned surface area and oil absorption.
  • Precision sizing: Mesh and pore size options to control flow rate, pressure drop, and capacity.
  • Quality documentation: SDS/TDS/COA available with lot traceability for regulated workflows.
  • Scalable supply: From lab packs to super sacks with nationwide freight support.

Example Application

A cosmetics manufacturer added precipitated silica at low loading to improve powder flow and oil control in a pressed product line. The change reduced caking, stabilized texture, and improved fill weight consistency without altering the base formula.
