Products in Fillers, Levellers & Joints: Weather Resistance

VINNAPAS® 530 ND is a construction dispersion for primers, cement admixes, and repair mortars. VINNAPAS® 530 ND is based on a vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer. It reduces the elastic modulus and enhances adhesion. VINNAPAS® 530 ND is an unplasticized 55% dispersion of a vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer in water.

VANSIL® HR-2000 Wollastonite is a high aspect ratio, short needle grade of wollastonite. It is used principally as a mineral filler and reinforcing agent to enhance mechanical strength properties in high build coatings, texture paint, block fillers, joint compounds and adhesives. In high film build coatings, the needle-like shape of VANSIL HR-2000 improves mud crack resistance and sag resistance, while also contributing to peak retention in texture coatings. The naturally high pH of wollastonite helps to buffer latex paints and coatings, which contributes to improved corrosion resistance and weathering. This also extends in-can stability and prolongs the lifetime of the coating. It is recommended that high aspect ratio grades of VANSIL be added late in process to avoid possible damage to the needle structure from high shear mixing.

PYRAX® WA Pyrophyllite is a unique natural mixture of platy silicates, principally pyrophyllite, and quartz. PYRAX WA has a coarser particles size than PYRAX B. As a replacement for mica, PYRAX WA is an excellent filler in joint compounds and dry wall muds. PYRAX WA imparts mud crack resistance to high build coatings such as texture paints and block fillers. PYRAX WA is a good inert filler for use in contractor flat paints, where it contributes to improved low angle sheen control and scrub resistance. When used in exterior paints, the neutral pH of pyrophyllite yields reduced frosting.

VANSIL® HR-1500 Wollastonite is a high aspect ratio, short needle grade of wollastonite. It is used principally as a mineral filler and reinforcing agent to enhance mechanical strength properties in high build coatings, texture paint, block fillers, joint compounds and adhesives.

MILLISIL® is for industrial use, mighty, workable silica sand deposits are of decisive importance. Nevertheless, chemical purity and constancy are not enough in order to apply silica directly as a raw material. In Quarzwerke plants silica sands are thoroughly prepared. The raw material has to pass exten-sive cleaning-, classification-, drying- and iron-free grinding processes in order to produce silica sands, flours and powders. For the production of silica flours and -powders with a defined grain size distribution separation processes are required in addition to iron-free grinding. Quarzwerke are able to produce silica powders with grain sizes down to 1 μm due to a fine-tuned combination of grind- and classification technology. Another refining step is the surface-treatment with silanes or silan-based substances which can be adjusted to the respective application.

Ziegler & Co. Naturprodukte Boruvit is the glass powder Boruvit acts as a functional filler in coatings by its transparency, which stays neutral with any pigmentation. It ensures a longer lifetime for the coating due to the absorption of UV-radiation. Being a mechanically hard filler, it will increase scratch resistance and the particle shape will improve the adhesion and co-adhesion of coatings.

Extendospheres® CG is our most versatile, general purpose hollow sphere grade. Sphere One’s Extendospheres® are low density, high strength hollow ceramic spheres. They can allow the formulator to reduce the weight and overall cost of their finished goods.

Ziegler & Co. Naturprodukte Silmer is embedded in the chalk cliffs near the Channel coast, were washed down by the sea, moved on the seafloor and shaped round flint pebbles. These pebbles gathered near the coast. The are quarried and processed by washing and sorting In a calcining process in shaft kilns at 1600°C, the flint is converted to Cristobalite.
