anti-caking
Stops powder lumps
Anti-caking describes additives or properties that prevent powdered or granular substances from clumping together.
Salt, flour, and powdered sugar often contain anti-caking agents to keep them free-flowing: The label listed silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent.
Without such treatment, moisture causes particles to stick and form solid lumps.
