Dragonite™ -XR
- Chemical Family
- Aluminosilicates
Dragonite™ -XR is a halloysite-‐based aluminosilicate clay exhibiting a rare, naturally occurring hollow tubular structure. Through its unique morphology and ideally-‐suited chemistry, it enhances the properties of wide range of thermoset resins to meet the requirements of demanding applications. Dragonite™-XR is an untreated product grade with slightly lower reactivity and acidity due to 2% iron oxide content. It is recommended at loadings of 30 - 60 wt%.

Higher levels of Dragonite-XR grade result in substantial reinforcement as seen by the simultaneous improvement in modulus and strength. Unlike traditional reinforcing agents, Dragonite-XR enables good retention of impact resistance and low weight because of the low density of the filler. At even higher loadings a V0 flame retardance rating is possible.

- Performance in Polyethylene
DRAGONITE-XR performs as loadings are increased and around 60 weight % it imparts halogen free flame retardance on top of reinforcement through the modulus and strength benefits.

- Performance in Polylactic Acid (PLA)
For higher addition levels, Dragonite-XR is the preferred solution bringing not only further reinforcement through improvements to modulus and strength but also with the added advantage of flame retardance up to V0 level.
