Anticaking Agent 25kg

Anticaking Agent 25kg

An anticaking agent is a substance added to granular or powdered materials, like salt, flour, or cosmetics, to prevent them from forming lumps and sticking together, thereby maintaining free-flow properties. These additives work by coating particles to make them water-repellent or by absorbing moisture and oil. Common examples include silicon dioxide (silica), calcium silicate, and sodium aluminosilicate, which are used across food, cosmetics, and industrial applications.
How Anticaking Agent 25kg Work
Moisture Absorption: Some anticaking agents absorb ambient moisture that would otherwise cause particles to form a binding liquid, preventing clumping.
Particle Coating: Others form a barrier on the surface of particles, making them water-repellent and less likely to stick together.
Common Anticaking Agents
Silicon Dioxide (Silica): A common additive in many powdered foods, like coffee and confectioneries.
Calcium Silicate: Used in table salt and seasonings to prevent caking.
Sodium Aluminosilicate: Absorbs moisture, preventing caking in sugar, salt, and non-dairy creamers.
Microcrystalline Cellulose: Used to keep shredded cheese from clumping together.
Starch and Magnesium Carbonate: Also used in powdered food products, according to SOLVERCHEM.
Applications
Food: Found in table salt, flour, sugar, seasonings, coffee, and non-dairy creamers.
Cosmetics: Used in powdered cosmetics to maintain flowability.
Industrial: Employed in fertilizers, road salt, and other industrial applications.
