PAINTS.
Is widely used in emulsion paints by reducing its cost because it increases the yield of the pigments used, the lower dispersion time you need, to their high and uniform brightness control allowing rigidly tones, and the high coverage that gives the final product due to its fineness. Also can partly replace more expensive fillers such as talc and kaolin.
RUBBER.
In elastomers, proves to be a great burden for general use. Compounds can be applied in white or colored rubber, lowering the cost to support a higher percentage of charge by virtue of their particle size, the minimum losing the final properties of the compound. In extruded or injected, has less wear on the dice, extruders, rollers, etc.. The low humidity prevents defective parts in the vulcanization. In addition, low water absorption, it makes it advisable to use conductive electrical insulation and either rubber or PVC His biggest oil absorption (due to particle size) allows to lower cost secondary plasticizers. His white uniform can obtain identical tones in different production batches.
PLASTIC AND PVC PLASTIC PLASTISOL.
Because of its low absorption of plasticizer and a superior court under, increases the concentration of cargo without diminishing its properties. Imparts good mechanical properties, excellent surface finish and high performance formulations for PVC pipe and fittings The low absorption of plasticizer is used in plastisol formulations where it needs to maintain a constant viscosity as well as resistance to aging, and improves thixotropic properties and adhesion processes rolling. Prevents adhesion of the polymer in lamination processes. By high whiteness, allows lower concentrations of titanium dioxide in the formulations. Compounds are recommended for coating electric cables by high dimensional stability and good yield. It tends to form agglomerates and has good dispersibility even at high concentrations. In rigid PVC pipes and rigid formulations generally improves performance, torque and surface finish. In plasticized PVC compounds gives good dispersibility, low absorption of plasticizer does not promote catalytic degradation due to low concentrations of heavy metals. By its particle size reduces abrasion in the machines. Its low cost, reduces the cost of the finished product.
PAPER.
is used as an opacifier, allowing savings in pulp and more costly pigments such as titanium dioxide also extremely expensive. allows an excellent ink absorption, facilitating the drying thereof
