Lapinus Fibres has created a new technical leaflet for Coating Additives
January 2012
Coating Additives has published a new technical leaflet:
a Guideline for dispersion of Lapinus® fibres in paint
Lapinus’ fibres are used in a wide variety of coatings to improve their mechanical and thermal properties. Due to their physical shape, inorganic nature and high fibre content, the Lapinus’ fibres are very effective in improving the strength and tensile characteristics of paint systems. Due to their smooth shape and low specific surface area, they are able to accomplish this with only a limited increase of viscosity. The inorganic chemical nature of the fibres provides good resistance against bacteria, algae and fungi as well as heat resistance to temperatures over 700 °C [1292 °F] for CoatForce® grades and over 1000 °C [1832 °F] for Roxul®1000 grades.
The key to obtaining the best results is ensuring that the fibres are well dispersed, which means that all the fibres are separated in the wet stage of the production process. The mixing process requires the necessary attention to ensure the best results, as Lapinus’ fibre products are available in various lengths (varying from 125 to 650 microns). This leaflet provides information on the best practices for dispersing Lapinus’ fibres in various coating systems.
