Beer Stabilization (continued) NALCO Nalco 1072 – ( Kieselsol or SilicaSol ) Nalco 1072 kieselsol is a liquid colloidal suspension of silicon dioxide, which is extremely effective in chill- proofing and clarifying beer. Nalco 1072 promotes the formation of compact sediment cakes at the bottom of the tank, enhancing the separation and filtration process of the beer. Nalco 1072 is a ready-to-use solution that offers convenience in use.
Nalco 1072 / KICK Carrageenan Customer Testimonial “KICK is where our clarification starts and that is in the brewhouse and then Nalco and the fermenatation tank really helps to drop that beer out nice and clear, so they are a very powerful duo...”

• For the application of Nalco 1072 in both high and low gravity beers, all dosage rates effectively reduce NTU and achieve a clearer sample compared to the control • There is a correlation between product efficiency and contact time. A lower dosage can be used to achieve target clarity over a longer period, while a higher dosage can achieve the same clarity in a shorter time. • For commercial applications dosage optimization trials are recommended to determine ideal dose and contact time.
