What does silica do in feed additive flow & carrier?
- Bring liquid vitamins, organic acids, antioxidants or choline-type components onto a carrier at the loading your recipe calls for — and still end up with a powder that behaves like one.
- Take the moisture-driven failures out of premix handling: caking in the warehouse, bridging in the hopper, drifting weights at the feeder.
- Tighten active distribution across the batch, so mixing checks pass first time and rework disappears.
Who is this track for?
- Plants compounding vitamin, trace-element and mineral premixes for animal nutrition.
- Converters that dry-format liquid or semi-liquid additives.
- Animal-nutrition customers who can describe their current carrier, liquid loading and storage problems.
Which CENSIL grades are used for feed additive flow & carrier?
Three absorption gradients on the same precipitated-silica platform — from a base carrier through a balanced middle grade to a high-load route. Which one fits depends on your liquid, your target loading and how the blend is stored.
We publish the selection logic, not the numbers. Data sheets are issued per enquiry so the figures match the current supplier revision and your application.
The base carrier. Start here when the liquid load is moderate and the real problem is flow and caking rather than raw absorption capacity. Widely used in vitamin and trace-element premixes and as an anti-caking aid in dry food blends.
TDS · specifications · COA on requestThe middle route. Takes more liquid than the base grade while keeping the powder free-running — the usual answer when 260P holds the load but the blend stops flowing.
TDS · specifications · COA on requestThe high-loading candidate. For choline chloride, organic acids and other demanding liquids where the target loading is the binding constraint and the powder still has to discharge evenly.

| Test dimension | What to watch | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid loading | Whether the powder stays flowable at the target load | Tells you if powdering is feasible at all |
| Powder flow | Discharge, packing and mixing behaviour | Tells you if it suits your line |
| Caking resistance | Setting, bridging or lumping after storage | Tells you the warehouse risk |
| Uniformity | Even distribution of actives through the premix | Tells you batch-to-batch consistency |
Which reference brands do customers benchmark against?
Trademarks belong to their respective owners and are named for orientation only. No equivalence is claimed; fit is confirmed by your own trial.
Which grade should you start with?
Confirm the liquid components, the target loading and the customer's existing powdering conditions first, then match the grade whose absorption and flow behaviour actually fits. What matters is that the final powder can be produced, packed and used without trouble.
