Characteristics Of An Ideal Filler:

Inert, constant properties, low specific gravity, ton-toxic, non-hazardous, non-abrasive, and low cost

Chemical Properties Available:

Most fillers used are inorganic and are usually based on naturally occurring mined minerals that are beneficiated in some cases. Some fillers are made synthetically, usually by precipitation from a solution of soluble salts.

Physical Properties Available:

Particle size varies with the filler's specific grade, but can range from relatively coarse particles-- a median particle size of 15 microns or more with 1 to 2 percent retained on a 45 micron screen. Some fillers are sized to very fine particles with a median particle size of well below 1 micron. The precipitated fillers usually have a finer and more narrow particle size distribution than the ground fillers.

Typical Applications:

Widely used in coating powder formulations to modify functional properties, such as hardness, modulus, permeability, corrosion, abrasion, chip resistance, gloss, texture, flammability, and electrical characteristics

Packaging:

Bags, drums, bulk bags, loose bulk

TSCA (SARA Title III) Status:

Unknown. For further information please call the E.P.A. at 1.202.554.1404
