Filler Material: Particle Size 1-100 μm, Purity >99%

Q: What is the role of filler material in silicone micropowders?

Fillers enhance mechanical strength, thermal stability, and reduce production costs by occupying volume and reinforcing the silicone matrix.

Q: Which filler is most commonly used?

Silica is the most common due to its compatibility and reinforcing properties.

Component Specifications

Definition

Filler materials are inert substances added to silicone micropowders to improve physical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, and thermal stability, while also reducing production costs. Common fillers include silica, calcium carbonate, and alumina, which are selected based on desired end-use characteristics.

Working Principle

Fillers are dispersed within the silicone matrix to occupy volume, reinforce structure, and modify rheological properties. They interact with silicone polymer chains through physical bonding or chemical coupling, enhancing mechanical integrity and thermal resistance.

Materials

Silica (SiO2), Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), Alumina (Al2O3), Talc, or other mineral powders with particle size 1-100 μm.
