Univar Solutions' Grace Syloid FP and XDP Silica is a multifunctional excipient designed to solve powder flow and caking challenges in various pharmaceutical applications. Manufactured in the United States, Syloid silica is an engineered hydrated silicon dioxide produced under controlled conditions. It meets US Pharmacopeia, European Medicines Agency, Health Canada, and Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency requirements.

Syloid silica’s design combines adsorption capacity, particle size, density, and internal surface area to provide multifunctional benefits or to optimize an application. This is intended to help minimize the number of excipients used and simplify the complexity of formulations while expediting manufacturing and ultimately improving the efficacy of the final dosage form.
