Application

CATALYST PRODUCTION

  • Synthesis - FCC Catalysts: High-purity, inert, temperature-resistant binder for catalysts, granules & active material for use in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking process (FCC).
  • Synthesis - SCR Catalysts: High-purity, inert, temperature-resistant binder for catalysts, granules & active material for use in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR).

REFACTORY & CERAMIC INDUSTRY

  • Ceramic insulation: Binder in insulation applications (heat or electricity) in power line and transformer construction (High-voltage isolators); High-temparatursensor coating, wire-armored heating elements, Insulating plates.
  • Refractory Materials: Impregnation of refractory bricks, stones & components, e.g. linings for high-temperature furnaces.
  • Production of fire and acid resistant / corrosive gasses exposed fiber composites (RFB)
  • Vacuum forming products: Manufacture of vacuum molded segments and boards with ceramic fibers.

 PAINTS, VARNISHES & PIGMETS

  • Adhesion and scratch resistance: As an additive to paint formulations for increasing the scratch and abrasion resistance and the breaking strength for various substrates such paper, metal, wood.
  • Filler & Matting Agent: As a functional additive for influencing the color reflection.
  • Heat- and corrosion protection: Heat-resistant paint systems and areas exposed to weather conditions such as moisture and salty atmospheres.
  • Paints based on organic solvents: Binder in organic paint systems.

FIRE PROTECTION APPLICATIONS

  • Material impregnation: Impregnation of fire-sensitive material such as wood, natural fibers & insulation material.
