Do synthetic amorphous silicas of the AEROSIL®-type contain any materials of animal or plant origin?
In the production process for synthetic amorphous silica of the AEROSIL®-type, we do not use any raw material of animal or plant origin (as mentioned in EMEA/410/01, Rev 2). AEROSIL® products have not been in contact with and constitutionally do not include any material of animal or plant origin. In our plants we generally do not use any material of animal or plant origin. Therfore AEROSIL® products are accordingly not contaminated when they leave the Degussa plants and warehouses.
