特殊化學品

GRANUSIL® Mineral Filler is produced from high-purity industrial quartz sand for a wide variety of industrial and contractor mixed applications which need a reliable silica contribution or require a chemically inert structural filler. Consistently uniform grain shapes and particle size distributions offer excellent placement, compaction and mechanical properties. High silica content combined with low level soluble ions, alkalis and alkaline oxides provide non-reactive service in most corrosive and exposed environments

CRISTOBALEX™ ultrawhite and lower density durable fillers have been specifically developed for the North American coatings, adhesives, and sealant markets. This durable filler is thermally modified and micronized to further enhance and provide superior optical whiteness and brightness in elastomeric and other cool roof coatings systems. CRISTOBALEX maximizes the L* or light reflectivity across both the visible and solar spectrum with the minimum or reduced amounts of TiO2 compared with conventional darker and heavier white fillers.

IMSIL A-15 is a microcrystalline silica filler produced from naturally occurring alpha quartz with a unique grape-like morphology. It enhances tint retention, durability, and resistance to dirt and weathering in both solvent and water-based systems.

MINEX® ST OV100 (particle size 10) is a hydrophobic, surface-treated nepheline syenite (NS) designed for enhanced performance in coatings and adhesives. This grade is easily dispersed in a wide range of reactive solvent-borne and 100% solids resin systems. It is particularly effective in polyurea resin and coating systems where variable surface moisture can lead to film defects. MINEX ST OV100 is engineered to deliver superior performance in polyurethane, polyaspartic, polyester, and silicone resin systems. Ideal end-use applications include: Industrial maintenance, General industrial, Industrial floor, Powder coatings, Wood coatings, Specialty architectural, Aerospace, Automotive.

 

MINEX® ST is available in three particle sizes—4, 7, and 10—and two functional treatments: A100 and OV100. It offers similar optics, handling, gloss, and color acceptance as the equivalent MINEX grades, while delivering improved dispersion and higher loading capacity in select systems—enabling cost savings and reduced VOC content.

 

MINEX® ST micronized functional fillers and extenders are proven performance enhancers across a broad range of paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and inks. Select surface treatments were developed to further enhance chemical and stain resistance, washability, adhesion, weatherability, optical clarity, color retention in tinted systems, abrasion resistance, and tensile strength—by compatibilizing the mineral surface with the host binder systems and reactive chemistries.

 

MINEX and MINEX ST functional fillers are produced from nepheline syenite—a naturally occurring, silica-deficient, sodium-potassium alumina silicate. Automated scanning electron microscopy confirms they contain less than 0.1% crystalline silica, with no detectable free crystalline silica in the mineral complex. All MINEX ST grades are processed and sized in strict adherence to Covia’s QIPSM quality assurance programs, ensuring consistently uniform chemistries, tight particle size distributions, and controlled top sizes for reliable performance.
