CONTACTSYLOPUTE has characteristics of an amorphous, high purity silica offering extraordinarily specific impurity adsorption. Finely formed micropore substructures and surface characteristics give it all the advantages of xerogels and hydrogels, without the significant disadvantages. Specific SYLOPUTE grades were developed through a cooperative effort between Fuji Silysia Chemical and leading breweries in Japan.
FEATURES
Advantage of SYLOPUTE
・SYLOPUTE gives selective adsorption in liquid foods.
・SYLOPUTE does not effect on flavor, color, or foam retention characteristics.
・SYLOPUTE’S tight particle size distribution provides quick and easy filtration．
High Safety
SYLOPUTE is synthetic amorphous silica. SYLOPUTE complies with the executive regulations of the Food Sanitation Act in Japan. SYLOPUTE is an authorized food additive as filter aids in the Japanese food industry. Additionally, SYLOPUTE meets the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. (Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, §172.480 Silicon dioxide)
