KEMOLIT WOLLASTONITE
Wollastonite in Paint Applications
Wolkem’s uncoated and surface modified milled and micronized Wollastonite grades are excellent functional fillers and coating pigments for marine and industrial coating applications, oil base and water base interior and exterior paints, cement paints and epoxy based powder coatings. Acicularity is considerably valuable in cohesive reinforcement of coating films.
Reinforcement
Lower water demand
Corrosion resistance
Heat & blister resistance
Reduces cracking and checking
Good stability in most water-based systems
Durability and strength
Better levelling
Better tint retention
Prevents downward pH drift
Easy and smooth brushing
Reduced oil absorption
Increased loading capacity
Better mechanical strength
Maintains alkalinity during long storage
Better pH stability
Replaces costlier fibres
Wollastonite filler was successfully evaluated in conventional epoxy zinc phosphate primer formulation at various percentages as a partial replacement of zinc phosphate filler.
Among the evaluated grades, Kemolite KW-4 was observed to perform best in terms of paint processing and performance properties.
The studies revealed that 75% replacement appears to be the best option to incorporate Wollastonite filler in conventional epoxy zinc phosphate primer formulations.
Recommended Grade
Kemolit KW-4, Kemolit KWB-1010, Fillex 9AE-1 (KWB), Fillex 2AF-3-KF
