3)    ALUMINUM SILICATE  (Al2SiO3)

Physiochemical Properties

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

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
