Optimal natural mineral powder for resin-reinforced fillers.
"Wollastonite" is a natural mineral that is produced in white needle-like and massive forms. It is mainly used as a ceramic raw material for tiles and porcelain, and later became widely used in construction materials as an asbestos substitute. The chemical composition of "Wollastonite" is stable, making it ideal for applications that require insulation and mechanical properties. Unlike chemically manufactured synthetic silica, its crystals are thin and long needle-like structures, which maintain these characteristics even when ground into fine powder. Additionally, it has a glossy white appearance and does not discolor or fade. [Features] ■ Ideal for applications requiring insulation and mechanical properties ■ Glossy white color with no discoloration or fading ■ Improved flexural modulus and tensile strength *For more details, please refer to the catalog.
