Knowde Brand Highlights

Features & Benefits: MINEX® functional filler is produced from nepheline syenite, a naturally occurring sodium-potassium-aluminum silicate. Additionally, no detectable crystalline silica dust in the MINEX® mineral complex.

Benefits of using MINEX® include:

Excellent brightness, tint retention, and resistance to adverse effects of weather and sunlight exposure in exterior paints

Improved color, sheen uniformity, chemical and stain resistance, and durability in interior paint formulations

Excellent abrasion and burnish resistance

Easily dispersed in all conventional vehicles

Low oil absorption permits high loadings in adhesives, sealants and coatings

MINEX® fillers are produced from nepheline syenite; a naturally occurring, silica deficient, sodium-potassium alumina silicate. Automated scanning electron microscopy confirms that MINEX® contains less than one-tenth of one percent crystalline silica. No free crystalline silica is detectable in the mineral complex. All MINEX® grades are processed and sized with rigid adherence to Covia’s QIPSM quality assurance programs. Consistently uniform chemistries, size distributions, and top size controls ensure improved structural and chemical performance with minimal resin demand.

Applications: Multiple grades of MINEX are available to provide improved optics and performance for a variety of applications:

Coarser grades offer cost-effective gloss and sheen control, as well as added texture.

Finer grades are recommended for higher gloss systems, and are the preferred choice for powder coatings and clear systems.

MINEX® micronized functional filler and extender is a proven performance enhancer in a broad range of paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and inks. Excellent brightness, tint retention, and weatherability can be achieved in exterior paints. Improved color, sheen uniformity, chemical and stain resistance, and durability result when MINEX® is used in interior paint formulations. MINEX® is easily dispersed in all conventional vehicle systems, and low oil absorption permits high loadings in adhesives, sealants, and aqueous and alkyd based paints. Multiple grades are available to provide optimal performance in a variety of applications. While the preferred MINEX® product is application dependent, coarser grades offer cost effective gloss and sheen control and can add texture.
