BECOSORB 1000 silica gel is a highly pure non-swelling amorphous silicic acid xerogel with a maximum moisture content of 10%. Through precisely defined particle size, uniform surface structure, pore size, and optimal total pore volume it adsorbs macromolecular protein compounds from the beer, which could cause colloidal hazing.

Shelf life months |
| 1.25 – 1.67 (15-20) | approx. 3-4 |
| 1.67 – 3.34 (20 – 40) | approx. 4–6 |
| 3.34 – 6.68 (40 – 80) | approx. 6 – 12 |
| > 6.68 (> 80 g/hl) | approx. > 12 |
| As a general recommendation, BECOSORB 1000 silica gel should be added as a preparation to the second pre-coating with a dose of 5.12 – 10.24 lb/1,000 ft² (25 – 50 g/m2). This significantly improves the shelf life. | |
