Alternative by Product — Grade-to-Grade Matching

Alternative to SIPERNAT® 22 for Feed Carrier Applications

Censil P-200 is the direct alternative to SIPERNAT® 22 for feed carrier applications. With higher absorption capacity (DOA 280-320 vs 235 ml/100g) and FAMI-QS certification, Censil P-200 matches SIPERNAT® 22's performance as a silica carrier for vitamin E, choline chloride, and organic acids — while delivering 30-45% cost savings. Feed mills in Asia and Latin America have already switched from SIPERNAT® 22 to Censil P-200 without any formulation changes.

Alternative to FLO-GARD™ SAC for Anti-Caking

Censil P-180 and P-200 serve as a FLO-GARD™ alternative silica carrier and anti-caking agent for animal feed. With matching SiO₂ purity (≥98%) and superior absorption capacity, Censil provides the same free-flow and anti-caking performance for mineral premixes, vitamin premixes, and milk replacers. Censil's low dust micropearl grades (MP-series) are ideal for automated feed production lines.

Alternative to Tixosil® 38 for animal nutrition: Censil MP-200 micropearl grade matches Tixosil® 38's fine particle size and anticaking function for animal nutrition applications, with the added advantage of FAMI-QS certification (Tixosil® holds HACCP/GMP+ only) and lower dust generation.

Alternative to SIPERNAT® D 17 — Hydrophobic Silica for Feed

Censil D17 is the direct alternative to SIPERNAT® D 17 hydrophobic silica for feed applications requiring moisture-resistant anti-caking performance. Adding just 0.1-0.5% of CENSIL D17 to feed premixes significantly improves flowability in high-humidity conditions — the same mechanism as SIPERNAT® D 17, at a fraction of the cost.

Annual Savings (10kt feed)Baseline

For a feed mill producing 10,000 tons/year of compound feed, switching from SIPERNAT® to Censil silica can save $3,000-18,000 per year — with zero change in feed quality or performance.

How to Switch — 5-Step Transition Guide

  1. Request Free SamplesContact Censil with your current silica grade and application. We'll recommend the matching Censil grade and ship free samples (500g-1kg) within 3 business days.
  2. Lab Testing — Compare Censil silica against your current brand using standard test methods (BET surface area, DBP/DOA absorption, particle size distribution, loss on drying). Request our TDS for complete specifications.
  3. Small-Batch Trials — Run trial batches using your existing formulations. Replace your current silica with Censil at the same dosage rate. Verify carrier efficiency, anti-caking performance, and feed homogeneity.
  4. Quality Validation — Test the final feed product for flowability, bulk density, moisture content, and active ingredient uniformity. Confirm all parameters remain within specification.
  5. Commercial Order — Once trials are approved, place your first commercial order. Censil ships FAMI-QS certified feed grade silica in 25kg bags or 500kg big bags, with typical lead times of 2-3 weeks from order to delivery.

Censil provides full technical support throughout the switching process, including on-site assistance for large-scale trials. Contact sales@sensilcoating.com to get started.
