BECOSORB 1000 silica gel is a highly pure non-swelling amorphous silicic acid xerogel with a maximum moisture content of 10%. Through precisely defined particle size, uniform surface structure, pore size, and optimal total pore volume it adsorbs macromolecular protein compounds from the beer, which could cause colloidal hazing.

As a general recommendation, BECOSORB 1000 silica gel should be added as a preparation to the second pre-coating with a dose of 5.12 – 10.24 lb/1,000 ft² (25 – 50 g/m2). This significantly improves the shelf life. |
