SIPERNAT® 340

SIPERNAT® 340 is a medium sized silica with spherical particles and high oil absorption capacity (DBP). Is less dusty than small particle size flow agents, yet still gives good free flow improvement performance. SIPERNAT® represents a specific product range of precipitated silica, aluminium and calcium silicates.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

Our silica products are inert and extremely stable chemically. However, due to their high specific surface area, they can absorb moisture and volatile organic compounds from the surrounding atmosphere. Therefore we recommend storing the products in sealed containers in a dry, cool place, and removed from volatile organic substances. Even if a product is stored under these conditions, after a longer period it can still pick up ambient moisture over time, which could lead to its exceeding the specified moisture content. For this reason, our recommended use-by date is 24 months after date of manufacture. Product more than 24 months old should be tested for moisture content before use in order to make certain that it is still suitable for the intended application.
