Omya launches non-nano Omyafood® 120 to support powder handling and facilitate processing
Omya, global producer of mineral ingredients, has developed an anti-caking agent for safe and easy powder handling and processing.
Omyafood® 120 is based on functionalized calcium carbonate (FCC) particles that have undergone a patented recrystallization process to create a new mineral composition and structure. The advanced non-nano mineral offers high porosity, high moisture-binding capacity and reduced mechanical interlocking. As such, it provides a nano-free alternative to traditional flow aids such as silica, which have to be declared as nano particles on the label.
