Properties of Neuburg Siliceous Earth and advantages for users:
- good and rapid incorporation, excellent dispersion properties (especially puriss products)
→ better processability and faster paint production
- very low sedimentation, no hard sediment
→ improved product handling
- good pigment dispersion (spacer effect)
→ improved dispersion and pigment distribution possible, potential for cost reduction
- good rheological properties
→ adjustable rheology, individually according to product selection
- good transparency in clear coats
→ cost reduction due to lower binding demand, prerequisite for improvement of abrasion resistance and matting
- adjustable matting effect or gloss level
→ depending on product selection, gloss level or matting can be chosen individually
- very fast drying
→ better and faster processability, reduction of working time on site
- good and rapid sandability
→ effective post-processing, cost optimization
- very low electrical conductivity, no buffering effect
→ no disturbing salts/electrolytes, good stability in water-based systems and pigment pastes for electrophoresis applications
- excellent edge covering
→ more efficient coating in corrosions protection, cost optimization
- excellent stone chip resistance, good mechanical properties, excellent scratch resistance and abrasion resistance
→ high durability
- good chemical resistance
→ high resistance to aggressive substances
- good corrosion protection, weather stability
→ extended resistance to environmental influences
- surface treatment possible
→ good interaction into the polymer matrix, adjustable rheology control
- high purity
→ also suitable for food contact including drinking water
- very low CO2-footprint
→ significant reduction of the carbon footprint of paints and coatings
