Prime Filter Powder is a synthetic, amorphous, hydrous form of magnesium silicate. It is a slightly coarse, odorless, tasteless powder with the approximate chemical formula MgO:2.6SiO2. With a porous internal structure and large activated surface, Prime Filter Powder products are ideal for use as adsorbents, antistatic flow agents, anti-caking agents, catalyst supports, carriers, and reinforcing fillers.
This product is acceptable to the FDA and NSF for use in filtration of used frying oils. Its narrow size distribution results in superior filtration characteristics in the batch-type vacuum filters commonly used in restaurants.
Prime Filter Powder meets food-grade specifications set forth by:
- United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
- National Sanitation Foundation (NSF)
- Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives administered jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO)
