Product(s)
Rubber
Nucap® 100G Nucap® 190W Nucap® 290W A functionalized silane is reacted onto a base kaolin product to improve the balance of mechanical properties. The functionality of the silane allows the kaolin to react with the rubber during vulcanization rather than just be surrounded by the rubber particle. This improves the balance of tensile strength and elongation.
Wire and Cable
Polyfil® WC and Polyfil® WC-426 Low moisture calcined kaolin treated with a hydrophobic functional silane reinforces the compound and improves dispersion and wet electrical insulation properties.
Nylon
Nylok® 171 Calcined kaolin does an excellent job reinforcing nylon. A silane treatment on kaolin speeds dispersion and allows chemical coupling to take place, increases crosslink density and physical properties.
Epoxy / Adhesives
Nulok® 390 Nulok® 390 is a fine particle size water-washed kaolin treated with a functional silane to improve dispersion and increased tensile strength vs. untreated fillers.
Lithographic inks
Lithosperse® 7005CS Improved dot definition, reduced misting, easy dispersibility and water-resistance are all achieved when a unique chemical treatment is applied to the right particle size kaolin for ink applications. Lithosperse® 7005CS is used in inks because it: – economically imparts the ideal rheology to inks – can be post-added and still achieve excellent NPIRI grinds – resists migration into the fountain solution, allowing long uninterrupted printing runs
