AleaSIL
LIQUID
40-100 g/hl on white must.
25- 75 g/hl on sweet wines and filtrates.
Since it is always used in combination with gelatin, the doses and ratios of use should be determined by preliminary clarification tests in the laboratory. Generally, one part gelatin and 10-15 parts silica sol are used.
Appearance: white-gray opalescent solution, odorless.
ALEASIL contains homogeneous negatively charged silicon dioxide particles with very high surface area. Its characteristics enable it to achieve rapid and effective results in wine clarification.
Silica sol in colloidal solution.
Employed in combination with a gelatin powder or ALEAGEL 50, ALEASIL imparts excellent clarity even to musts and wines rich in mucilaginous colloids, resulting in reduced deposition volumes, improved filterability and lower content in oxidizable polyphenolic substances. ALEASIL eliminates the phenomenon of overcollage because it induces the precipitation of gelatin used in excess.
It is particularly suitable for the flotation of white musts, where clarification must be fast and complete; it is also effective in the treatment of sweet filtrates. ALEASIL is also used in the treatment of fruit juices, in combination with powdered gelatin
Disperse ALEASIL directly into the mass to be treated homogeneously. ALEASIL should be added before the gelatin. In case other clarifying products (charcoal, bentonite, etc.) are used, they should be added before ALEASIL for a sufficient time for their action. Clarifying treatment with ALEASIL should preferably be conducted at temperatures not lower than 12ºC.
