E555 Potassium aluminium silicate — is it halal?

Description

E555 is natural mica (muscovite, ≥98 %) (c1, c2). Its only food use is as the substrate of pearlescent pigments: the mica is coated with TiO2 (c20) or iron oxides (c22), sometimes with silica (c24), and calcined; precursors and pH regulators — c4, c15, c21, c23, c25, c26. Flotation (technical grades): acids and alkalis (c3–c5), depressants (c6, c7), fatty acids and amines (c8, c9, c13)

Names: Алюмосиликат калия · Potassium aluminium silicate · سيليكات الألومنيوم والبوتاسيوم
