Benefits for Polishing and Cleaning Agents

Abrasives (grinding agents) of different grain size and in varying amounts are used to wear off ultrafine surface layers and create surfaces of high quality finish. In this field of application the products based on Neuburg Siliceous Earth offer a lot of decisive benefits:
 

• Neuburg Siliceous Earth can be as readily incorporated into straight aqueous systems as into solvent/water mixtures.
• As a result of its low tendency towards sedimentation, Neuburg Siliceous Earth efficiently contributes to the stability of such dispersions.
• Neuburg Siliceous Earth, in particular the very fine-particle Sillikolloid P 87, helps to adjust the desired thixotropy and structural viscosity in polishing and cleaning agents. The further addition of costly rheological additives can, therefore, be minimized or even completely eliminated.
• Neuburg Siliceous Earth is available in 4 different particle size distributions, in order to offer optimum abrasivity for different polishing requirements. The proper choice of the Neuburg Siliceous Earth grade greatly depends on the state of the surface to be treated. For sensitive surfaces, or limited fouling, the finer products such as Sillikolloid P 87 or Sillitin Z 86 are preferred. Grossly fouled or less delicate surfaces can safely be polished with Sillitin N 85 or Sillitin V 85.
