- Advantages
- Superior Weatherability
- Extended durability as result of superior photochemical stability and improved color fade resistance relative to calcium carbonate and talc.
- Improved Physical Properities
- HIFILL N has been used to improve scratch and mar resistance.
- Regulatory Compliance
- No reportable free crystalline silica, improved industrial hygiene, safer solution - does not require silica-related labeling; FDA-approved for up to 50% by weight in the final product.
- Lower Oil Absorption
- Chemically inert, allows synergy with other additives. As a result, customers are able to achieve optimal formulation designs.
- Improved Dispersion Color Extension
- Transparent, color neutral which allows for optimum usage of darker pigments and helps with pigment dispersions.
- HIGHLIGHTS
Produced from a unique, all-natural sodium - potassium - aluminum silicate feedstock, our additives are available in ultrafine, precisely controlled particle size distributions for optimum performance. HIFILL N allows for formulation and processing cost reduction while not adversely impacting the products' physical properties and durability.; High-purity and low tint strength preserves the color integrity and optimizes pigment dispersion in colored products. Due to its low oil absorption and inertness, HIFILL N does not react nor affect the efficiency of other system components such as stabilizers, surface modifiers, and processing aids. Our additive is not hygroscopic and does not require special storage conditions or drying procedures.; The morphology and surface chemistry of HIFILL N provide for efficient dispersion and compatibility with various polymers. HIFILL N improves the thermal conductivity and rheology of polymer melts, resulting in significant energy and cost savings from more efficient processing conditions. High dielectric and compressive strength properties do not affect performance for dielectric applications. HIFILL N is processed and refined with rigid adherence to Covia QIPSM quality assurance programs.
