Aluminum Fine Powder
$ 0.20
Aluminum fine powder consists of finely divided aluminum particles, typically metallic and silvery-white in appearance. It is produced by atomization or grinding of bulk aluminum and is valued for its high surface area, excellent conductivity, and lightweight metallic properties. Aluminum fine powder is extensively used in various industrial applications including metallurgy, pyrotechnics, coatings, additive manufacturing, and as a pigment. Due to its reactivity, it requires careful handling and storage. Its fine particulate nature makes it particularly useful where rapid oxidation or reaction is desired, such as in explosives or energetic materials. It is also employed in the manufacturing of paints, inks, and cosmetics to impart metallic luster.
Binder
A binder is a broad category of substances—organic or inorganic—used to hold different materials together in a cohesive mass. Common binders include natural polymers (starch, cellulose derivatives, proteins), synthetic resins (PVA, acrylics, phenolics), and inorganic binders (clays, cement, lime). They are essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, construction, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, and printing, where they provide structural integrity, adhesion, and controlled release properties.
Calcium Carbonate Light
Calcium Carbonate Light is a finely ground, low bulk density natural mineral composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Compared to standard grades, it has a lower density and larger particle size distribution, making it suitable for applications where light weight and high brightness are important. This form is extensively used as a filler and extender in industries such as plastics, paints, rubber, paper, adhesives, and construction materials to improve opacity, brightness, and texture, while maintaining low weight and cost efficiency. Its chemical inertness and whiteness provide functional and aesthetic advantages across formulations.
Coated Calcium Carbonate
Coated Calcium Carbonate is a fine, white, odorless powder consisting of naturally occurring ground calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) treated with a surface coating—typically stearic acid or other fatty acids—to enhance compatibility with non-polar matrices. This coating improves dispersion in plastic and rubber formulations, reduces moisture pickup, and enhances the physical properties of the final product. Compared to uncoated grades, coated calcium carbonate offers better hydrophobicity, improved flow properties, and stronger interfacial bonding in polymeric systems. It is widely used in plastics, rubber, paints, sealants, adhesives, paper, and more.
Kaolin
$ 1.20
Kaolin is a naturally occurring, fine white clay mineral primarily composed of kaolinite. It features a soft, powdery texture and excellent absorbency. Kaolin is widely used across ceramics, paper, rubber, paint, and cosmetics industries due to its chemical inertness, whiteness, and plasticity. It acts as a filler, coating agent, and extender to enhance product quality and performance.
Magnesium Carbonate Light
Magnesium Carbonate Light is a fine, white, odorless powder primarily composed of magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃). It is characterized by its light texture and high purity. This mineral compound is widely used across various industries due to its excellent absorption properties, mild alkalinity, and non-toxic nature. Magnesium Carbonate Light is commonly employed as an antacid, drying agent, filler, and flow aid in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
Silicon Dioxide
Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂), commonly known as silica, is a naturally occurring inorganic compound found abundantly in the Earth’s crust. In its refined, powdered form, it is used as an anti-caking agent, filler, absorbent, and thickener across a wide range of industries. It is odorless, tasteless, chemically inert, and stable under normal conditions. Packaged in 10kg units, silicon dioxide is highly versatile and widely accepted for use in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
Xysil Fumed Silica
Xysil Fumed Silica is a high-purity fumed silica produced through flame hydrolysis of silicon tetrachloride. It is an ultra-fine, amorphous, white powder with a very high surface area and low bulk density. Xysil 200 is widely used as a reinforcing filler, thickening agent, anti-caking agent, and rheology modifier in various industrial applications. Its unique physical properties improve the mechanical strength, viscosity, and stability of formulated products.
