Aluminum Fine Powder
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 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.
Calcium Carbonate Uncoated
Calcium Carbonate Uncoated is a naturally occurring mineral compound composed primarily of calcium, carbon, and oxygen with the chemical formula CaCO₃. It appears as a fine white powder or granules, widely used as a filler, pigment, and functional additive across various industries. The uncoated form means the calcium carbonate particles are not surface-treated, retaining their natural properties. It is valued for its high brightness, whiteness, and excellent compressibility. Uncoated calcium carbonate is used to enhance opacity, improve processing, and reduce costs in plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber, paper, and construction materials.
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.
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.
Sodium Alumina Silicate
Sodium Alumina Silicate is an inorganic compound consisting of sodium, aluminum, and silicon oxides. It is typically found as a white, amorphous powder with excellent adsorption and ion-exchange properties. Commonly used as a detergent builder, water softener, and desiccant, sodium alumina silicate improves cleaning efficiency, controls water hardness, and aids moisture absorption. Its thermal stability and chemical inertness make it valuable across detergent manufacturing, water treatment, and various industrial processes.
