Mineral
Fillers :
Minerals, historically have been referred to as fillers and
extenders. Fillers and extenders, by definition,
fills and extends resins to reduce the cost of the resin. In
today's market place, function, but not price, is the key
selection criterion of a mineral products. Minerals are
essential formulating ingredients for the production of
polymer composites.
Mineral consists of
two broad classifications : Commodity minerals and Speciality
minerals. Generally, commodity minerals are used to reduce the cost
of the resin, while speciality minerals are used where function or
performance is a factor and the pricing is high.
Some minerals have
inherent speciality. Calcium Carbonate, Talc, and Mica are minerals
with high aspect ratio. Particle shape is defined as the ratio of
length to width or length to thickness. This particle shape
translates into reinforcement and improved mechanical properties in
polymer composites.
We manufacture the minerals
that meets the international quality standards. |
