ALUMINASOL™
ALUMINASOL™ is a colloidal hydrous alumina with many applications for catalysts, fiberglass, fabrics, textiles and synthetic fibers.
ALUMINASOL comes in two types, ALUMINASOL 100 and ALUMINASOL 200.
Applications of ALUMINASOL
ALUMINASOL has a wide variety of industrial applications such as:
- Binding of inorganic textiles
- Anti-static treatment of fabrics and threads
- Cation emulsification
- May be used as a binder in the manufacture of alumina catalyst carrier
Properties of ALUMINASOL
Having a predominantly thixotropic character, ALUMINASOL exhibits a wide viscosity range within the same concentration. ALUMINASOL is highly resistant to heat and has a powerful film-forming capacity. The colloidal alumina particles have a positive charge. These particles are attracted to surfaces of substances with a negative charge and allow other negative substances to adhere as well.
ALUMINASOL can add anti-static properties, heat resistance, bonding strength, film forming capacity and adhesion to the products it is applied to.
