Custom filler material produces excellent paint without common damage to mixing equipment
May 22, 2006Micronized silica for paint industry produced via fine grinding jet mill
In order to produce paint of the highest possible quality, the raw materials must be tightly controlled. This includes the mineral fillers that make up to 50% of the paint. Filler materials like calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin and silica largely govern paint properties like UV resistance, weatherability, abrasion resistance and sheen. Modern exterior latex paints typically use silica as a filler material, however it is particularly abrasive to paint mixing equipment and causes expensive wear damage.
This study by Samayamutthirian Palaniandy, Khairun Azizi Mohd Azizli, Ee Xun Hong, Syed Fuad Saiyid Hashim and Hashim Hussin from Universiti Sains Malaysia looks at controlling particle size and shape of silica paint filler to enhance the properties of paint while minimising damage to mixing equipment.
The researchers found that fine grinding of silica in a jet mill with controlled operational parameters produced high quality silica for the paint industry with beneficial morphological attributes such as particle size distribution, particle shape and surface texture. The filler that they prepared was also advantageous in that sharp edges of the grains of silica were removed in the milling process. This results in a high quality filler that is far less damaging to mixing equipment which would in turn prolong the life of expensive equipment, reducing costs as well as the likelihood of contamination from wear particles.

Conductive plastics made from natural, renewable, environmentally friendly soybeans
Polymer matrix composites with carbon black are very interesting materials. This is because the carbon black can be used as filler material and can beneficially modify the electrical and mechanical properties of the used matrixes.
Research paves way for new composite materials
Northwestern University researchers have developed a process that promises to lead to the creation of a new class of composite materials - "graphene-based materials."
Packing the home in a Dewars flask
Cars and homes have one thing in common: They consume energy in the form of oil or gas. Energy-efficient vehicles typically make use of lightweight materials and improved engine technologies, and soon home builders will also need to pay greater attention to environmental concerns in their designs. New legislation became effective in Germany last year: It stipulates high energy-saving standards for new building construction and a reduction in the heat energy requirements in existing buildings. Apart from modern and efficient heating systems, thermal insulation makes the biggest difference. Vacuum insulation panels (VIP) could well be the material of the future. Until now, such panels have bee
Rocket technology retards combustibility
Every fire is literally a red-hot situation. While wood is a popular building material, it also has the disadvantage of being an excellent fuel. Intumescent coatings (from the Latin intumescere, to swell up) can help to delay the combustion of wood. Above a specific temperature, these protective coatings form a soft, carbonaceous foam that shields the underlying wood from oxygen and lowers the heat impact. "But this foam is easily carried away by mechanical forces which usually don't occur during laboratory testing," explains Dirk Kruse of the Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research WKI. "They are due to strong air convections or the jet of fire-extinguishers. As a result, the wo

Wetfly Featuring the Bug Box. (Unfinished) Tying Materials not included. by Creekside Custom Woodworks The box is made from "Apple Core Plywood"- the trade name for half-inch, nine-ply, maple-veneer stock- which is about as close to beautiful as plywood gets. There are no gaps, no filler; the stuff looks like it came from a plywood tree. The dado joints are glued and clamped for strength and durability, and the simple teak-oil finish gives a pleasing, natural blonde tone. Molded brass covers protect the corners of the lid and base provide structural integrity to the chest itself; lying flat or standing, the chest rests on little rubber feet. |
