PYRAX

PYRAX® ABB Pyrophyllite is a finely ground pyrophyllite is an inert, non-hygroscopic, neutral pH mineral which provides optimal compatibility with pesticide actives, and is safe for plants and animals. PYRAX® ABB has a relatively high bulk density, resulting in “heavy” dusts that drift less on application to plants, and that enable animal dusts to penetrate fur for good skin contact.

PYRAX® B Pyrophyllite is a unique natural mixture of platy silicates, principally pyrophyllite, and quartz. As a replacement for mica, PYRAX B is an excellent filler in joint compounds and dry wall muds. PYRAX B imparts mud crack resistance to high build coatings such as texture paints and block fillers. PYRAX B 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.

PYRAX® RG-140 Pyrophyllite is a unique natural mixture of platy silicates, principally pyrophyllite, and quartz ground to 140 mesh. It has low bulk density, low thermal conductivity, and low reversible thermal expansion. PYRAX RG 140 is used in mold washes to prevent metal penetration into the mold. In insulating firebrick, PYRAX RG 140 provides excellent dimensional stability and is used to make refractories with superior hot load bearing ability, resistance to thermal shock and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. In abrasive products, PYRAX RG 140 is used in vibratory millstones, bonded wheels and polishing compounds.

PYRAX® RG-200 Pyrophyllite is a unique natural mixture of platy silicates, principally pyrophyllite, and quartz ground to 200 mesh. It has low bulk density, low thermal conductivity, and low reversible thermal expansion. PYRAX RG 200 is used in mold washes to prevent metal penetration into the mold. In insulating firebrick, PYRAX RG 200 provides excellent dimensional stability and is used to make refractories with superior hot load bearing ability, resistance to thermal shock and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. In abrasive products, PYRAX RG 200 is used in vibratory millstones, bonded wheels and polishing compounds.

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.
