CELOCELL™ HEC 350 L(B) is a nonionic cellulose derivative that dissolves readily in water, either cold or hot. It is used to produce solutions having a wide range of viscosity. Such solutions are pseudoplastic, that is, they vary in viscosity depending upon the amount of stress applied. CELOCELL™ HEC as a thickener, protective colloid, binder, stabilizer and suspending agent in a variety of industrial applications, such as water-based paints, adhesives, emulsion polymers, toothpaste, cosmetics and building products.

PIQ-White Filler 300 is a fine sized dry pulverized carbonate filler. Material is available in 50 lb. paper bags, palletized and stretch wrapped, 2000 lb. mini bulk bags or in bulk. Piqua Minerals fillers are available with various average particle sizing for other filler applications.

High Calcium Quicklime are pulverized limestone products which are produced by grinding and screening industrial-grade limestone and dolomite.

Köstrosol® 730 is a weak opalescent aqueous dispersion of amorphous silicon dioxide nanoparticles. This small-size colloidal silica has a negatively charged surface (anionic) which is stabilized by Alkaline (Na+). Köstrosol® 0730 is a pure colloidal silica without any organic additives.

Micronized Products Mica 60# range of products are obtained as a co-product from the pegmatite ore at our mining operation situated in the Limpopo Province in South Africa. After separation the Mica is delaminated, screened, milled and classified to specific size specifications.

APChem CFL 205 is a synthetic, water-soluble, latex powder effective from 60 to 232°C to make cement more elastic (less shattering on perforating). Can be used with fresh water, seawater, calcium chloride water (up to 8%), and saturated saltwater.

PIQ-White Premium Filler 70 is a general purpose filler primarily intended for elastomeric compounding. Likely applications in elastomers include footwear, housewares, lawn and garden equipment, recreational equipment, aircraft and automotive parts.

ROKAmid KAD/2A is a non-ionic surfactant with the INCI name ‘Cocamide DEA’. It is based on natural vegetable oils. It has a form of a clear or slightly turbid light-yellow to yellow liquid. ROKAmid KAD/2A is one of the most common co-surfactants, which has a range of very interesting application properties. Most of all, it is used as a rheology modifier, that is a thickener which improves consistence by creating so-called mixed micelles. Among other KAD series ROKAmides, it shows improved thickening properties compared to the ROKAmid KAD or KAD/1A. When mixed with anionic surfactants, it increases and stabilizes the quality of foam. ROKAmid KAD/2A is very effective even at a low concentration.
