Characteristics of a high quality dolomite mineral filler

In order to establish the quality of a dolomite we must take into account the following factors:
  • a correct granulometry tailored to the specific needs of our final product and the production process. The milling / crushing process and the subsequent classification of the dolomite mineral filler in the factory must guarantee the correct granulometry.
  • the purity of dolomite. It is very frequent the presence of impurities, mainly iron and manganese. That is the reason why we should analyze this aspect and select the most appropriate dolomite to our formulation or / and needs.
  • its whiteness. For certain types of products, the color of dolomite is a highly coveted element.
  • tight humidity control
AITANA CHEMICALS offers one of whitest and purest dolomites in the world. We offer a wide range of different particle sizes and mixtures as a solution to the different production processes and final applications. By analyzing the needs of our clients, we advise on the most suitable product for each application.

Dolomite applications

The uses of dolomite mineral filler depend fundamentally on its physical and chemical properties. Depending on these properties we can use this mineral filler in:
  • polymer matrix composites, as polymer concrete or in applications such as countertops, shower trays, sinks, plates, etc.
  • paint manufacturing
  • as a mineral filler for ceramic glazes
  • adhesive plastic materials manufacturing
  • as a mineral filler for rubber
  • fertilisers in agriculture. It constitutes a source of magnesium and calcium that allows modifying the ph of the soil. Dolomite mineral manages to regulate the acidity of the soil and thus, improves and increases the profitability of the crops.
  • steel industry
  • glass industry

Conclusion

The strict humidity control, granulometry as well as other physical and chemical parameters of dolomite mineral fillers, will allow us to reach the highest manufacture yields. Thanks to our close cooperation with strategic partners we can offer our clients a technical department specializing in the formulation and combination of mineral fillers. If you need to improve the performance of your product or want to create a new composite, do not hesitate to contact us.
