Our debut at CPHI Worldwide marked Vistasilica's entrance into the pharmaceutical excipients and edible-oil purification markets. The team showcased VS-PH350 high-purity silica for oral solid dosage and VS-OE550 for edible oil refining — connecting with formulators, distributors, and refineries from Europe, the Middle East, and South America.

Dr. Zhao presented a co-authored research poster on novel silica adsorbents for phospholipid removal, while the team connected with major refiners including Cargill engineers and Brazilian soybean-oil processors — all centered on VS-OE550's cost-per-ton-treated advantage.
