Oil Filter Powder

Magnesium Silicate is manufactured by reacting sodium silicate and soluble magnesium. It is a fine, white, odourless powder commonly known as “talc” when hydrated. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as an anticaking agent for tablet compression and in food it finds numerous uses after being generally recognised safe by the FDA(Food and Drug Administration) and the SCF (Scientific Committee of Food) due to its very low rate of absorption and with no indication of toxicity or developmental toxicity. Magnesium Silicate is authorised as a food additive and it finds itself useful in a variety of application such as animal and vegetable oil, sugar, resins, odors, as an anti-caking agent and other filler substances such as paper, rubber, ceramic and glass. The magnesium silicate market is expected to grow during the aforementioned forecast period with the increase use of magnesium silicate by various industries.
