Sodium Aluminium Silicate 500g AR
Sodium Aluminium Silicate AR (Analytical Reagent) is a fine, odorless white powder.
It is primarily used in laboratories as a moisture absorbent, desiccant, and formulation aid.
Commercially, similar grades function as anti-caking agents in food powders and opacifiers in paints and cosmetics.
Primary Laboratory Uses
Desiccant & Drying Agent: Highly effective at trapping moisture; used to keep analytical samples and other reagents completely dry.
Anti-Caking Additive: Prevents clumping and sticking in powdered laboratory chemicals to ensure they remain free-flowing.
Chromatography & Filtration: Occasionally acts as a stationary phase or filtering/clarifying aid to remove impurities from liquid mixtures.

Commercial & Industrial Applications
Food & Dairy Products: Acts as an anti-caking agent to maintain the free-flow of powdered products like salt, baking mixes, and non-dairy coffee creamers.
Paints & Coatings: Functions as an opacifying and whitening agent. It helps improve paint opacity, brushability, and keeps pigments suspended evenly, preventing the paint from settling to the bottom.Paper Manufacturing: Used as a filler to improve the brightness, opacity, and printability of paper.
Cosmetics: Included as a bulking and opacifying agent in topical foundations, powders, and skincare formulas.
