CENSIL 260P
Premix producer, northern Germany
Problem
Six weeks into silo storage, the premix was bridging again — despite an anti-caking agent already dosed at a heavy 2.0%. Every blockage cost the dispensing line roughly four hours a month.
Trial
We read it as a porosity problem rather than a dosage problem and proposed CENSIL 260P (the base carrier grade, low tapped density) at just 0.8%. The customer put it through three full production campaigns over 90 days before committing.
Outcome- Gloss target held at 24–26 with 12% less matting agent
- Haze over dark veneer cut by roughly a third
- Soft settling that re-stirs by hand after four weeks
- Two more waterborne SKUs moved to the same grade
“Eighteen months, zero silo blockages. And your engineers actually travelled to Lower Saxony — twice — while we were still only trialling. Nobody else does that.”
— Klaus M., Production Director, Germany

CENSIL 230W
Waterborne wood-coating maker, Izmir
Problem
A waterborne matt clear for kitchen furniture kept failing the customer's own appearance check: the 25-gloss target was met, but the film read milky over dark veneers, and the matting agent settled hard after three weeks in the can.
Trial
We read it as a compatibility problem rather than a loading problem and put CENSIL 230W — specially treated for waterborne systems — head-to-head with the incumbent at the same gloss target. Three lab batches, then one pilot batch, judged on 60°/85° gloss, haze over black glass, dispersion time and can settling at two weeks.
Outcome- Phosphorus now held under 5 ppm, batch after batch
- 35% less bleaching earth consumed
- Filter runs stretched from 4 to 7 hours
- Roughly EUR 48,000 recovered annually
“Same gloss, clearer film, and the can stops turning into concrete. Our lab had written off treated silica as a premium we could not afford — the loading saving paid for it.”
— Emre K., Technical Manager, Türkiye
Oral care · Vietnam
CENSIL 310 + 320
OEM toothpaste filler, Ho Chi Minh City
Problem
A private-label whitening paste kept failing its own release test: RDA drifted between 95 and 130 from batch to batch, and every third lot thinned out on the filling line. The incumbent single-silica recipe was being asked to clean and to build body at the same time.
Trial
We split the roles: CENSIL 310 at 12% on the cleaning route and CENSIL 320 at 6% on the structure route. Three lab batches ran against the incumbent on RDA, Brookfield viscosity and 45 °C stability before the plant touched a single production lot.
Outcome- RDA held at 105 ± 6 across twelve production lots
- No thin-paste rejects on the filling line in six months
- 45 °C / 3-month stability cleared with no syneresis
- Same two-grade pair adopted for two more SKUs
“Splitting cleaning and body into two silicas was the whole fix. Our RDA stopped wandering and the line stopped calling the lab.”
— Linh T., R&D Manager, Vietnam
Food powder · Indonesia
CENSIL 310
Seasoning exporter, Indonesia
Problem
Spice-blend sachets bound for humid markets were arriving as solid bricks; distributors in Malaysia and the UAE were sending back about 3.2% of export volume over caking alone.
Trial
CENSIL 310 (food grade, E 551 / FCC compliant) at 0.6% in the three biggest export SKUs — proven side by side against untreated controls in a 40°C / 75% RH humidity chamber before any commercial run.
Outcome- Treated samples still flowed at week four; controls set solid
- Returns fell from 3.2% to below 0.3%
- Triangle test (n=60): no detectable taste or aroma change
- Rolled out to seven more export SKUs inside a year
“Fifteen destination climates, one anti-caking agent that survives them all — CENSIL 310 is the first we've found that manages it.”
— Budi S., Quality Assurance Manager, Indonesia
