Sillitin® Z 89

Sillitin® Z 89 by Hoffmann Mineral acts as a functional filler. It is a natural combination of corpuscular silica and lamellar kaolinite, which can be used on its own or combined with other extenders or flatting agents. Suitable for solvent-free systems, primers & fillers (also for automobile industry), varnishes, exterior & interior emulsion-, silicate- & industrial paints, and foil- & plastic- (soft-feel) coatings.

• It exhibits excellent dispersion properties and slight flatting- & spacer effect in pigments.
• It provides good transparency with a minimal yellow tinge in unpigmented coatings.
• It is quick-drying and possesses high solids content as well as abrasion-, weathering- & scratch resistance.
• It offers a high filling ratio, good wet edge strength and breathability.
• It has pseudoplasticity, soft sediment, moderate yield point, low abrasiveness and very low tendency to settle.
• It is used in metal (primer & surfacer)-, electrophoretic-, powder- and water-based corrosion protection (epoxy clear coat & DTM acrylate hydrophobic) coatings.
• Sillitin® Z 89 is also used in film- and wood coatings such as UV/eximer-curing, dispersion-based clear coats, exterior topcoats and breathable primers.
• It is designed for interior dispersion-, silicate & dispersion silicate-, facade- & road marking paints and dispersion coatings for concrete.
• It complies with the standards on basic foodstuffs of the BfR and FDA.
• The recommended metering level is up to 50% depending on the intended application.
