Aluminum hydroxide
Aluminum Hydroxide, chemically known as Al(OH)₃, is a white, odorless, and odorless powder or gelatinous substance. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid and relieve indigestion and heartburn. Beyond healthcare, aluminum hydroxide is a crucial component in water purification, fire retardants, and as a precursor or filler in various industrial applications. It functions as a flame retardant by releasing water upon heating, thus cooling the material and diluting flammable gases. Due to its amphoteric nature, it can react both as an acid and base, enhancing its versatility. Aluminum hydroxide is often utilized in manufacturing aluminum salts and in producing aluminum oxide.
Calcined Kaolin
Calcined Kaolin is a fine, white to off-white powder produced by heating natural kaolin clay to high temperatures (typically between 600°C and 900°C) in a controlled process called calcination. This thermal treatment removes chemically bound water, changes the crystalline structure, and enhances the physical and chemical properties of kaolin. The resulting product exhibits increased brightness, hardness, and opacity, making it highly valuable as a functional additive and filler in numerous industrial applications. Calcined Kaolin is widely used in coatings, ceramics, plastics, rubber, paper, and paint industries to improve durability, brightness, and performance.
Calcium Carbonate Heavy
Calcium Carbonate Heavy is a high-density, finely ground, natural mineral primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Known for its higher bulk density compared to regular grades, this filler is widely used in applications requiring enhanced weight, opacity, and strength. It is commonly employed as a functional filler and extender in industries such as plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber, paper, and construction materials. Its inert nature, whiteness, and particle size distribution make it suitable for improving mechanical properties and surface finish, while also offering cost efficiency by replacing more expensive raw materials.
Kaolin
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.
