Advantages of Neuburg Siliceous Earth

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
