IMSIL A-8

IMSIL A-8

microcrystalline silica extender

IMSIL A-8 is a microcrystalline silica filler produced from inert, naturally occurring alpha quartz (98.6% SiO2) with a grape-like morphology, easily wetted and dispersed in solvent or water-based systems and selected for tint retention, durability, and resistance to dirt and weathering. Median particle size is 1.6 microns with 7.3 m2/g surface area and 87 TAPPI brightness. It is the finest micronized grade, for high gloss paints, thin coatings, and inks requiring the tightest top size control.

MINBLOC HC 1400

MINBLOC HC 1400

nepheline syenite antiblock additive

MINBLOC HC 1400 is a high-clarity nepheline syenite antiblocking additive for packaging-grade flexible films, combining particle morphology, surface chemistry, and a 1.53 refractive index to deliver antiblocking performance with superior haze, gloss, and clarity without diminishing film mechanical properties. Chemically inert and non-absorptive, it does not interfere with slip agents, antioxidants, stabilizers, or colorants and suits masterbatch or direct addition; median particle size is 7.60 microns with 2.50 m2/g surface area.
