SILLITIN Z 89 / SILLITIN Z 89 puriss

TECHNICAL DATA – Field of application: PAINT & VARNISH

1. Description 2. Applications 3. Benefits
SILLITIN Z 89 and SILLITIN Z 89 In paint and varnish applications • high filling ratio
puriss is a natural combination of SILLITIN Z 89 and SILLITIN Z 89
corpuscular silica and lamellar puriss can be used as functional • outstanding dispersion behavior
kaolinite. These two elements fillers either on their own or • good pigment dispersion
together form a loose structure combined with extenders or flatting (spacer effect)
which offers particular advantages agents.
in terms of application possibilities • low abrasiveness
Fields of application:
when used as a functional filler. • very low tendency to settle
• emulsion and silicate paints
Characteristics: (exterior and interior emulsion • soft sediment
Appearance: free-flowing powder paints)
Brightness Y DIN 53 163: 86 • good wet edge strength
Brightness Z DIN 53 163: 86 • industrial paints
• quick drying
Residue > 40 µm: 20 mg/kg • wood and foil coatings
Residue > 200 µm: 3 mg/kg • anti-corrosion coatings • weathering resistance
Volatile matter • primers and fillers also for the • breathability

Electrical • scratch resistance
• sealing and embedding
conductivity: 80 µS/cm compounds • high abrasion resistance
Density: 2.6 g/cm³
Particle size distribution • electrophoretic paints • very good transparency
D50 : 1.9 µm It stands out for its excellent • slight flatting effect
D97 : 9.0 µm dispersion properties, moderate
Surface area BET: 10 m²/g yield point and pseudoplasticity with • complies with the standards on
Oil absorption: 55 g/100 g a high solids content and high basic foodstuffs of the BfR and
Refractive index n: 1.55 abrasion resistance. In unpigmented FDA
coatings it achieves good Puriss also provides the following
Puriss grade:

manufacturing process the very low
sieving residue is reduced even SILLITIN Z 89 puriss also has • extremely low sieving residues
further from the values given above advantages in the following • excellent dispersion behavior
to the following: instances:

 4. Particle size distribution

The measurement method for these particle size distributions is based on the Fraunhofer diffraction
spectrum. The analyses were carried out with Mastersizer 3000, a laser apparatus of Malvern.

Important: The data on particle size distribution is highly dependent upon the method used, test
preparations and the measuring device itself. As a result the values given may not be
directly comparable with those provided by another manufacturer.
