摘要:
Bauxitic kaolins, compositions comprising the same, and methods of making and using the bauxitic kaolins are disclosed herein. The bauxitic kaolins can have an Al 2 O 3 content of greater than 50% to 85% by weight (on a calcined basis), a loss on ignition of at least 17% by weight, and a surface area of at least 100 m 2 /g, as determined by a Micrometrics Gemini 2370 surface area analyzer. The bauxitic kaolins can be used in various applications depending on their average particle size and/or particle size distribution as well as other desired properties. In some embodiments, the bauxitic kaolin can be used as a flame retardant filler in applications such as carpets and plastics or as an adsorbent.
摘要:
This invention is directed to novel pigments, pigment systems (including components not classified as pigments) and formulations for use in an aqueous coating system applied onto cellulosic (paper and/or paperboard) and non-cellulosic substrates (polyethylene (PE), polylactic acid (PLA), polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), etc.) to impart barrier properties.
摘要:
Kaolin compositions comprising coarse kaolin particles are disclosed herein. The kaolin compositions can include kaolin particles having a GE brightness of at least 78 and a particle size distribution wherein at least 50% by weight of the kaolin particles have an equivalent size diameter (e.s.d.) of 30 μm or greater. In some embodiments, the kaolin compositions can include kaolin particles having a bimodal particle distribution. In other embodiments, the kaolin compositions can include kaolin particles having a low crystalline silica content, such as a crystalline silica content of 0.1% by weight or less and a particle size distribution wherein at least 50% by weight of the kaolin particles have an equivalent size diameter (e.s.d.) of 15 μm or greater. In some embodiments, the kaolin particles can be free of crystalline silica. Methods of making and using the kaolin compositions are also disclosed herein.
摘要:
Provided herein are surface treated pigments and methods of making and using the surface treated pigments. The surface treated pigments can comprise a mineral pigment surface treated with a hydrophilic latex composition and a hydrophobic material, which produce a film on an outer surface of the pigment. The hydrophobic material can be selected from a silane, a siloxane, or a siloxane/silicone resin blend, wax, fatty acid, styrene-butadiene latex, or a mixture thereof. The hydrophilic latex composition can be selected from a straight (meth)acrylic latex emulsion, a styrene-(meth)acrylic latex emulsion, or a blend thereof. The surface treated pigment has a surface energy that is less than a surface energy of the mineral pigment alone, a water contact angle of at least 90° and a dodecane contact angle of less than 150°.

Calcined kaolin comprising a narrow particle size distribution and a fluxing agent are disclosed herein. In some examples, the calcined kaolin comprises particles, wherein 90% by weight or less of the particles have a diameter of less than 10 microns; 80% by weight or less of the particles have a diameter of less than 5 microns; 40% by weight or less of the particles have a diameter of less than 2 microns; and 20% by weight or less of the particles have a diameter of less than 1 micron. The calcined kaolin exhibits improved brightness, whiteness, particle size distribution, mullite index, and +325 mesh residue level compared to conventional calcined kaolin. Methods of making and using the calcined kaolin particles are also provided herein.
摘要:
Provided is a kaolin having a finer particle size and a narrower particle size distribution, in combination with suitable morphology. Also provided are a method of preparing the kaolin product and methods of use.
摘要:
A fully calcined kaolin pigment extender is provided which has a product Mullite Index (M.I.) of 25.0 or higher. The calcined kaolin pigment extender can be advantageously used in paints to improve scrub and burnish resistance.
