Clarification and stabilisation
ALCOMAT
KIESELSOL Clear 500 g
Stabilised 30% silica sol in a 500 g pack for wine, juice and alcoholic drinks. Together with oenological gelatine it forms compact flocs. Adjust the dose to turbidity; the typical dose is 50–70 mL per 100 L. The colloidal silica suspension has a pH close to 10. With gelatine it forms aggregates that settle quickly and leave a small sediment volume.

- Measuring
- Measure Kieselsol in ml and gelatine in g; do not convert mass to volume without density data
Refer to the current product packaging for the binding dosage, application and safety information.
Add gelatine first
First add high-quality oenological gelatine, such as ALCOMAT GELATINE Clear, according to its instructions. Measure the products separately: Kieselsol in ml and gelatine in g.
Add Kieselsol
Add Kieselsol directly to the liquid after the gelatine and mix thoroughly. Their interaction begins after about 15 minutes, followed by sedimentation.
Practical note
Measuring the two products
Use the table to match Kieselsol in ml to gelatine in g. Do not assume 1 g equals 1 ml or use a universal percentage ratio.
Practical note
Dose and order of addition
Higher doses are used for heavy haze or difficult clearing. Reversing the order of the fining agents can increase the risk of over-fining with gelatine.
Storage
Storage conditions
Store in a dry, cool place away from light. Check the best-before date and batch number on the packaging.
