Advantage of Using Aluminum Silicate in Paints Production:
- Widely used in the manufacturing of paint, as a less expensive alternative to Titanium dioxide
- Part of white pigment like Titanium-dioxide (10% /more) can be replaced without loss of opacity.
- Give faster surface & through-drying in products which also stand up better to abrasive treatment
- Excellent substrates for high gloss finishes as they ensure good leveling out.
4) PRECIPITATED SILICA
Physiochemical Properties
- SiO2: 85% to 99.5%
- pH: 7
- Bulk Density: 0.07 to 0.20 gms/cc
- Particle Size: 2 to 5 Microns
- BET Surface Area: 140 – 180
- Residue on 350 Mesh: 0.3% Max
- Water Absorption: 160% - 260%
- Moisture content at 105ºC for 1 hr-% max: 5%
Advantages of using Precipated Silica in Rubber Products:
- Improved process ability at equal mixing energy
- Increased tensile strength, tear and flex fatigue
Improved hysteresis properties superior abrasion (scratch)resistance
