In our continuing effort to increase the value of our product offerings to our customers we are pleased to bring you a much more efficient Silica Gel. Our new Silica Gel will perform equal to the former Silica Gel at only 60%, giving you a 40% reduction in the cost of your Silica Gel.

There is no need to alter any part of your production procedures with the exception of reducing the amount of Silica Gel that you've been using by approximately 40%. Just keep your oils the same, add about 60% of the amount of Silica Gel that you were using and you'll get an equal volume, but lighter, product. That means that you save on the cost of your Silica Gel and you save on the shipping of an identical product.

Example:

If you were following the formula below:

500 G (17.63 oz by volume)

445.0 G 89% Oil Blend
5.0 G 1% Vitamin E
50.0 G 10% Silica Gel (Old)

You would now alter to the formula below:

500 G (17.63 oz by volume)
445.0 G 89% Oil Blend
5.0G 1% Vitamin E
30.0 G 6% Silica Gel (New)
New weight of product: 480 G

You will end up with the same amount of product in volume, with the same viscosity but at a lighter weight. I know this can make your head start to spin because if you alter your formula to reflect 100% you'll end up changing the percentages of everything and so on..... but, if you leave it alone it's as simple as pie. If you need to change it to 100% it would look like this:

480 G (17.63 oz by volume)
445.0 G 92.70833% Oil Blend
5.0G 1.04167% Vitamin E
30.0 G 6.25% Silica Gel (New)
New weight of product: 480 G

It's complicated because it's not measurable, for most of us whose scales don't go to 5 decimal places on grams, so even though we usually say to start with 100%, in this case we think that you should just leave it alone and preserve your mental health. Just be sure to maintain your original numbers so that you can expand and duplicate your original formula.
