Synonyms: Fumed Silica or Colloidal Silicon Dioxide Silica Colloidal Anhydrous

Silicon dioxide is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. In the pharmaceutical industry, colloidal silicon dioxide is used in tablet-making, including use as an anti-caking agent, adsorbent, disintegrant, or glidant to allow powder to flow freely when tablets are processed.
Fumed silica also known as pyrogenic silica is a very fine particulate or colloidal form of silicon dioxide. It is prepared by burning SiCl4 in an oxygen-rich hydrogen flame to produce a "smoke" of SiO2.
Hydrophilic fumed silica is used with increasing success in high technology fields including pharmaceuticals, polyester, silicone, paints and coatings.
Hydrophobic fumed silica has a low moisture adsorption, excellent dispersibility, and ability to adjust rheological behavior, even that of polar systems.
Precipitated silica is an amorphous form of silica. It is a white, powdery material, produced by precipitation from a solution containing silicate salts. We offer it in various bulk density.
There is some confusion about nomenclature of silica as Precipitated silica or Fumed silica. The readers are advised to study both these pages.
Specifications of Colloidal Silicon Dioxide USP NF Grade:
SiO2 --- 60.08
(This is a fumed silica grade.)
Silica [CAS 7631-86-9].
Colloidal Silicon Dioxide is a submicroscopic fumed silica prepared by the vapor-phase hydrolysis of a silicon compound. When ignited at 1000 for 2 hours, it contains not less than 99.0 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of SiO2.
Packaging and storage: Preserve in well-closed containers.
Identification:
A: Transfer about 5 mg to a platinum crucible and mix with about 200 mg of anhydrous potassium carbonate. Ignite at a red heat over a burner for about 10 minutes, and cool. Dissolve the melt in 2 mL of freshly distilled water, warming if necessary, and slowly add 2 mL of ammonium molybdate to the solution: a deep yellow color is produced.
B: [Caution: Avoid contact with o-tolidine when performing this test, and conduct the test in a wellventilated hood.] Place 1 drop of the yellow silicomolybdate solution obtained in Identification test A on a filter paper and evaporate the solvent. Add 1 drop of a saturated solution of o-tolidine in glacial acetic acid to reduce the silicomolybdate to molybdenum blue, and place the paper over ammonium hydroxide: a greenish blue spot is produced.
pH: between 3.5 and 5.5, in a 1 in 25 dispersion.
Loss on drying: Dry it in a tared platinum crucible at 105 for 2 hours: it loses not more than 2.5% of its weight. Retain the dried specimen, in the crucible, for the test for Loss on ignition.
Loss on ignition: Ignite the portion of Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, retained from the test for Loss on drying, at 1000C ± 25C to constant weight: the previously dried Colloidal Silicon Dioxide loses not more than 2.0% of its weight.
Arsenic: To pass the test. The limit is 8 microg per g.
Assay: Transfer about 500 mg of Colloidal Silicon Dioxide to a tared platinum crucible, ignite at 1000C ± 25C for 2 hours, cool in a desiccator, and weigh. Add 3 drops of sulfuric acid and add enough alcohol to just moisten the sample completely. Add 15 mL of hydrofluoric acid, and in a well-ventilated hood evaporate on a hot plate to dryness, using medium heat (95C to 105C) and taking care that the sample does not spatter as dryness is approached. Heat the crucible to a red color with the aid of a Bunsen burner. Ignite the residue at 1000 ± 25 for 30 minutes, cool in a desiccator, and weigh. If a residue remains, repeat the procedure, beginning with “add 15 mL of hydrofluoric acid.” The weight lost by the assay specimen, previously ignited at 1000C± 25C, represents the weight of SiO2 in the portion taken.

Evaporate to dryness at 140C, starting at a low temperature to avoid splashing. Cool in a desiccator. The residue weighs a maximum of 12 mg.
Loss on ignition: Maximum 6.0 per cent, determined on 0.200 g by ignition in a platinum crucible at 900 ± 50C for 2 h. It is advisable to place the crucible in a cold oven and then to heat up the oven. Allow to cool in a desiccator before weighing.
ASSAY
To the residue obtained in the test for loss on ignition add sufficient ethanol (96 per cent) to moisten the residue completely and 0.2 mL of sulfuric acid. Add 6 mL of hydrofluoric acid and evaporate to dryness on a hot-plate at about 100C, taking care to avoid loss from sputtering. Wash down the sides of the platinum crucible with 6 mL of hydrofluoric acid and evaporate to dryness. Ignite at 900 ± 50C, allow to cool in a desiccator and weigh.
The difference between the mass of the residue obtained in the test for loss on ignition and the mass of the final residue gives the amount of SiO2 in the quantity of the substance to be examined.

Specifications of Silicon Dioxide FCC Food Grade:
Synthetic Amorphous Silica
SiO2 Formula wt 60.08
INS: 551 CAS: [7631-86-9]
DESCRIPTION
Silicon Dioxide occurs as an amorphous substance that shows a noncrystalline pattern when examined by X-ray diffraction. It is produced synthetically, either by a vapor-phase hydrolysisprocess, yielding fumed silica, or by a wet process, yielding precipitated silica, silica gel, colloidal silica, or hydrous silica. Fumed silica is produced in an essentially anhydrous state, whereas the wet-process products are obtained as hydrates or contain surface-adsorbed water.
Fumed silica occurs as a white, fluffy, nongritty powder of extremely fine particle size and is hygroscopic. The wet process silicas occur as white, fluffy powders or as white, microcellular beads or granules and are hygroscopic or absorb moisture from the air in varying amounts. All these forms of Silicon Dioxide are insoluble in water and in organic solvents but they are soluble in hydrofluoric acid and in hot, concentrated solutions of alkalies.
Function: Anticaking agent; defoaming agent; carrier; conditioning agent; chillproofing agent in malt beverages; filter aid.
