How-to guides

Step-by-step trial procedures for each application track — what you need, the steps in order, the mistakes that spoil a comparison, and the questions we get asked. No specifications; every guide ends with the sample set we would send.

Agrochemical Carrier

How to test an inert silica carrier for WP and WG agrochemical formulations

Load the technical or its solution onto the carrier under the same conditions the plant uses, then run the standard formulation checks — wet sieve,…

Industrial Fluoride Removal

How to screen porous silica substrates for fluoride-removal functionalisation

Treat the porous silica as a candidate substrate, not as an adsorbent: functionalise it with your own chemistry, run batch adsorption on a real or…

Defoaming & System Stability

How to convert a liquid defoamer into a free-flowing powder

Run the granular grade on the same compounding line and settings as the powder, watching feeder stability, screen-pack pressure and dust at the…

Getting started

How to request and evaluate a silica sample set from Sensilchem

Tell us the process problem, the material you use now, the formulation or resin, the equipment and the target; we reply with a proposed sample set —…

Tell us what is failing in the process

The material you use now, the formulation or resin, the equipment and the target you need to hit. That is enough for us to say whether we have something worth testing.
