Technical FAQ

Molecular science answers for industry professionals.

What is Molecular Thermal Shielding in feed additives?

It is a technology that uses molecularly-modified silica to create a protective matrix around sensitive nutrients (like enzymes and vitamins). This ensures they survive the high heat (up to 95°C) and moisture of the pelleting process without losing biological activity.

How does SILSEP optimize FCR for tropical aquaculture?

We focus on nutrient bioavailability. By protecting nutritional assets from thermal degradation, we ensure that the animal receives the full potency of the additive, leading to better growth rates and lower Feed Conversion Ratios even in warming waters.

What is the benefit of the "San Diego to Sanming" model?

It combines top-tier molecular research from our San Diego R&D center (collaborating with UCSD) with the industrial-scale manufacturing precision of our base in Sanming, China. This ensures high-innovation products at a competitive direct-manufacturing price point.

Are SILSEP products compliant with global feed standards?

Yes, all SILSEP manufacturing processes at our Sanming base adhere to FAMI-QS and ISO standards, ensuring safety and quality for international export to Southeast Asia and beyond.
