Wax Additives / Processing Aids

• 1. LUBRICANTS / PE WAX
• Description
• Polymers are made of long chain molecules of
  varying sizes and distributions. These polymers
  tend to be
• Relatively viscous above their melt temperature
• Sticky above their melt temperature
• Lubricants serve to decrease the frictional
  forces found between
• Polymer Polymer
• Polymer Metal
• Polymer Filler
• Filler Filler

Products Polyethylene Wax Polyethylene waxes
can be made in two main grades, emulsifiable and
non emulsifiable waxes. The differences between
both the grades are in relation to the molecular
weight. The products are made in the molecular
weight range of around 6000 and in the range of
around 2000 to 4000. 20 Microns Nano Minerals
are making different grades of Polyethylene Wax

3. WAX EMULSION Description Wax emulsion
refers to the water based system with the
particle size distribution below 1 µm,
distinguished by the emulsion iconicity, it can
be non ionic, anionic, and cationic. Wax emulsion
is different from wax dispersion it has no
matting effect and is used for coating and inks
which has high requirement on gloss.

Inorganic Rheology Modifiers

• 1. ATTAPULGITE THIXOTROPIC THICKENERS AND
  RHEOLOGY MODIFIERS
• Description
• Attapulgite, a naturally occurring mineral, is a
  crystalline hydrated magnesium alumino-silicate.
• Fully hydrated attapulgite grades thickens
  liquids without swelling
• Attapulgite products are able to build viscosity
  in the presence of very high salt concentrations.

Products Hydroxylgel Partial Replacement of
Organic Thickener in Water Base It also works as
co-thickener with cellulosic, associative and
alkalis well able thickener. HYDROXYLGEL used
for water borne system in paints, adhesives,
sealants and coatings, printing inks.
Thixotropy of HYDROXYLGEL allows Paint, Adhesive
and Printing Ink to spread easily when rolled,
sprayed or brushed and than stiffen at a
controlled rate. HYDROXYLGEL thickeners
provide sag resistance, viscosity control, spread
ability and excellent feathering at low cost.

Expanded Clay (Kaolins)
Products

• 1. FLASH CALCINED KAOLIN
• Description
• Flash calcination is a process whereby a solid,
  usually in finely divided form, is heated
  rapidly, held at temperature for a short time,
  and then cooled rapidly.
• HYPERCILITE is Engineered Calcined Kaolin for
  high opacity, high gloss high reducing strength
  in interior exterior paints coatings.

Hypercilite Flash Calcined China Clay
(Kaolin), provides the paint formulator with a
tool to reduce TiO2 by up to 30 when replacing
conventional minerals. Sealed rather than open
voids result in better wet opacity, and allow dry
hiding to occur even below the CPVC of the
coating. The high durability of Hypercilite
makes it particularly suitable for use in high
quality paints.
12
Expanded Clay (Kaolins)
Markets Expanded Perlite can be manufactured
to weigh from 2 lb/ft3 (32 kg/m3) to 15 lb/ft3
(240 kg/m3) making it especially suitable for use
in insulation applications. Perlite is used in
the manufacture of high temperature and cryogenic
insulation, lightweight perlite insulating
concrete, insulating board, insulating plasters,
masonry wall insulation and as under floor
insulation.
2. Expanded Perlite Description Perlite is not a
trade name but a generic term for naturally
occurring siliceous volcanic rock. The
distinguishing feature which sets perlite apart
from other volcanic glasses is that when heated
to a suitable point in its softening range, it
expands four to twenty times its original volume.
13
Expanded Clay (Kaolins)
Markets In its expanded form, vermiculite has
a very low density and thermal conductivity,
which makes it attractive for use as a soil
amendment, lightweight construction aggregate,
and thermal insulation filler. Expanded
vermiculite also has a very large chemically
active surface area, which makes it useful as an
absorbent in some chemical processes. When
vermiculite is ground into a fine powder, it is
used as a filler in inks, paints, plastics, and
other materials.

• 3. VERMICULITE
• Description
• When commercial vermiculite flakes are heated and
  expanded, they undergo a color change that
  depends on the chemicals present and the
  temperature of the furnace. The resulting
  expanded vermiculite granules are usually a
  gold-brown color.

14
Cosmetic Pigments
Products
1. Mica Description Cosmetic grade Mica are fine
powders, used for various reflective color
applications. Known primarily for their use in
cosmetics, mica powders are a common natural and
chemical coloring ingredient.
Calcined Mica Calcination series are very
thin, excellent skin adhesion and high oil
adsorption. It is ground after calcination of raw
material at high degree of 800-900. Mica come to
peel off thin when a water of crystallization
which belongs in between the layers are
vaporized.
15

Cosmetic Pigments
2. China Clay (Kaolin) Description The
excellent coverage, oil absorption, reduced
shine, translucent and adhesion properties of
kaolin clay make it a great ingredient for most
cosmetic products. They are great for finishing
a flawless look as they are great for hiding
imperfections. Kaolin clay is the perfect primer
for oily skin.
Properties Their benefits expand their
applications in various Skin Care and Repair
Treatments. It is perfect as an opaque white
base of colors and their fine textures allows any
mineral make up to easily slide and apply on the
skin.

Cosmetic Pigments
4. BENTONITE / ORGANO CLAY Description It is
supplied as light creamy fine mesh powder with a
surprising ability to swell in water or in
organic liquids forming colloidal dispersion. It
is thixotropic tending to gel when at rest, but
flowing freely when shaken.
Properties and Markets Bentonite can be used
in manufacturing of best quality Toothpastes,
Antiperspirant Cosmetic Make-up, Aerosols, Body
Lotion, Face Packs, Creams, Shampoos Hair
Grooming Aids and many other consumer as well as
industrial products.

Matting Agent
Products

• Description
• The matting agent is prepared by hydrothermal
  treatment of colloidal silica By treatment the
  silica surface can be partially modified with
  organic (waxes) or inorganic material for better
  dispersion in the reaction medium.
• The higher the matting agent dosing in a Coating,
  the stronger the matting effect. The matting
  power of matting additives depends on their
  Chemical, Morphological, and Physical properties.

FMSIL Series Is a high performance silica
developed for variety of applications in paints
and coatings to achieve matt finish. FMSIL allows
exceptional surface characteristic with excellent
slip effect, FMSIL had outstanding suspension
behavior and suitable for use in pigmented
coatings and also use in clear coats.
19
DIATOMACEOUS (SILICEOUS) EARTH
Description Siliceous earth is an inorganic
material, which has chemical composition of gt80
of amorphous of Silica. This amorphous phase is
very rare and used widely in industrial scale
because of its high porosity, fine particle size,
very low density and its high surface area.
Siliceous Earth finds many similarities with
Diatomite.

CALCIUM OXIDE DESICCANT (VAPOROXOL)
Products
Vaporoxol 3F Surface Treated Calcium
Oxide Our Grade name is Vaporoxol, it is surface
treated fine calcium oxide powder for use as an
effective desiccant. The calcium oxide is coated
by a chemically indifferent hydrocarbon. Due to
this preparation Vaporoxol has reduced air
pollution
Description Calcium Oxide Desiccant is the most
economical and old line Desiccant its essential
component is calcium oxide, which absorb moisture
by chemical reaction. Compare with Silica-gel, it
has high ability of absorption of moisture, can
ensure the retention period of material for more
than six months. Calcium Oxide Desiccant is most
effective where low critical relative humidity is
necessary, and were there is a high concentration
of water vapor present.
