Functional Fillers

MAGRIS TALC© series - lamellar and microcrystalline talcs for Paints & Coatings applications

Mineral fillers for paint and coatings improve or influence technical and / or optical properties such as colour, hiding power and brightness. They are used to increase the volume, change the material density value and reduce the formulation costs of end customers. Other properties can be the anticorrosion protection in lacquers, influence of rheology in paints, increase scratch resistance and improve UV protection or flame-resistance of end products.

magris-talc©-series---natural-talcs-for-putties-and-liquid-compounds,-adhesives-and-sealings.pdf

Talc is oleophilic which gives it the ability to associate with liquid resins such as alkyds, epoxies, polyesters, acrylics, amines and polyols. In doing so, they create weak bonds with these resins that result in increased low-shear viscosity. When shear is applied the bonds break quickly, resulting in shear-thinning rheology that is ideal for many applications.

Anorganic reinforcing fillers for industrial applications are an important backbone in modern composite materials. We offer various staple fibres and centrifuged microfibers for different applications.

A staple fibre is produced using an endless sheet (roving) and then cut into the necessary fibre lengths. The roving is spun from the liquefied material. Each of these rovings is made up of several dozen filaments (single fibres), which are then cut into the desired length after cooling.

Centrifuged glass microfibers are sprayed through an extruder head, thus obtaining a clearly finer distribution than conventional fibres. For this reason, the appearance is rather more like wadding than fibre.

HOP-MIX

HOP-MIX 2303-A0 is one of the centrifuged glass microfibers. These fibres draw on a sophisticated process, which liquefies a glass and then sprays it in very delicate fibres. These fibres then exist as casts and can be embedded into a matrix. The chemistry of the glass and the small fibre diameter help to create a transparent end product, even in the highest applied concentrations. The systematic distribution of the very fine fibres offers higher resistances over the entire structure. It is also possible to use it as a cost-effective replacement for pyrogenic silica, as HOP-MIX also has a high absorption capacity with a large surface area.

HOP-BASALT

Basalt fibers consist of naturally occurring rock. The production process is adapted to the characteristics of this very pure raw material. For the chopped fibers, an endless strip (roving) is first produced from the liquid melt of the raw material and then cut into the required fiber length. Each of these rovings consists of several filaments (single fibers), which are standardly coated with a silane finishing.

Closed cell perlite based hollow microspheres TRI-SPHERES®

Description

TRI-SPHERES® are hollow multi-cellular microspheres with a popcorn structure on a silicate basis. TRI-SPHERES® serve as functional lightweight fillers. Their heat resistance is up to 1,500 °C. Their compressive strength ends at 2,900 PSI / 20 Mpa. With a view to any shear forces occurring during the incorporation, their multi-cellular structure avoids that all spheres are destroyed at high forces. TRI-SPHERES® are marked by a clear bright colour.

Application

TRI-SPHERES® can be used as lightweight fillers in many different applications such as paints and coatings, foams in composites as well as in hydraulic-setting cement for construction chemistry (TRI-SPHERES® 120 XL). With a view to the optimisation of acoustic and thermal properties, TRI-SPHERES® 300 and 400 are recommended. In particular the fine TRI-SPHERES® 45XS Ultra achieves good results in partial weight reduction of PP polymer for injection mouldingwhen adding 10 – 15 % as an additive for the last step.

OMEGA-SIL®

Description

OMEGA-SIL® are solid aluminium silicate spheres which have a very high compressive strength. The OMEGA-SIL® SPECIAL* product range consists of aluminium silicates that are processed in an additional processing step sifted. This particularly sharp separation of the top cut results in aesthetic applications to smoother surfaces.

Application

Due to the lower specific surface the use of OMEGA-SIL® in paints and coatings allows a higher degree of filling. OMEGA- SIL® shows in cementitious systems pozzolanic reactivity. The inside microcrystalline structure results in a significant increase of mechanical strength.

WOLLATROP® Manufacturer: Lehmann&Voss&Co.

Inorganic thickeners of the WOLLATROP® series are based on inosilicate technology. This technology has a similar effect to the well-known phyllosilicate thickeners, but behaves very differently in the high shear range. Due to the thread-like structure, alignment in the printing direction is possible, which allows easier processing than comparable phyllosilicates.

Their valued properties in the high shear range as well as their strong thixotropic effect support an excellent product. By combining different types it is possible to create a rheology profile tailored to the needs of the user. With different processes it is possible to significantly influence the thickening effect.

SeriesProductDescriptionApplications
WOLLATROP®-S SeriesWOLLATROP®-SSpecially prepared, 100% mineral silicate
additives with a particularly high active surface
Improvement in the sagging behaviour of
coatings and reduction in the settling of
pigments and fillers
Preferred in building chemistry applications
such as building adhesives and sealing
compounds.
Rheological adjustment for water-based
paints and lacquers.
WOLLATROP®-SE
WOLLATROP®-SF
 WOLLATROP®-S/240WOLLATROP®-S/240 is a 100% natural mineral
compound which acts as a very good
thixotropic agent.
Crack bridging in building chemicals,
adhesives, sealants and putties
 WOLLATROP®-LVWOLLATROP®-LV is a silicate additive which
has been given a particularly high active
surface area by a special digestion process.
WOLLATROP®-LV reduces sagging and settling
of pigments and fillers.
Water-borne paints and lacquers
Building chemicals
 WOLLATROP®-MWOLLATROP®-M is based on hydrous
magnesium silicate and controls the rheology
by absorption of the solvent. Especially
recommended for higher temperatures.
