Industrial uses of Synthetic Amorphous Silica

SAS is an integral part of many catalyst systems. The key aspects of synthetic amorphous silica, as in other applications, are chemical inertia combined with high porosity. Synthetic Amorphous Silica (SAS) are used as a precursor for the manufacturing of different catalyst systems, either as a raw material or as a framework to support the catalyst.

SAS is also a key player in HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), an advanced analytical technique used to separate, identify, and quantify components in a liquid sample. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, food analysis, and research due to its high precision and efficiency. 

In medicine and pharma, HPLC helps analyse medication. It ensures they have the right ingredients and no harmful impurities. 

SAS is the solid material inside the HPLC column that helps separate different substances in a liquid. SAS is made of tiny, porous particles, these particles catch and release substances at different speeds, helping scientists identify what’s in a sample. 

In the HPLC system, SAS helps scientists to separate, measure, and test different substances in medicines, food, and even environmental samples.
