MIOX - Unique Mineral Filler

• Mineralogical properties of micaceous iron oxide
  up to now made it impossible to keep high aspect
  ratio at particle sizes below 50 µm.

• With our new grinding technology KMI has managed
  to micronize and submicronize micaceous iron
  oxide with high aspect ratio.

• Depending on the MIOX grade extremely high
  aspect ratio of more than 501 can be realized.

MIOX - Unique Mineral Filler

• Our grinding process is especially designed for
  the basic properties of micaceous iron oxide.

• Comminution by high velocity differences
  guaranties high delamination combined with less
  mechanical deformation.

• Depending on production parameters special
  tailor-made functional fillers for polymers can
  be realized.

• MIOX offers outstanding performance and an up
  till now never realized combination of properties
  in standard thermoplastics.

MIOX Mineral Fillers
MIOX fillers increase productivity !

• Already at low filler loading significant
  increase of thermal conductivity is reached!
• As a consequence cycle time can be optimized and
  processing speed increases!

Sound Absorption of Fibers Filled with MIOX
SUBMICRO
Independent institutes confirmed an improvement
of sound absorption up to 50 with MIOX
SUBMICRO 2.5 as active filler !
Test results based on comparative analyses of
fibers tested within frequency range 100Hz up to
2.000 Hz, unfilled and with MIOX SUBMICRO 2.5 as
active filler.
