A versatile additive: PROMAXON®

PROMAXON® is a synthetic hydrated calcium silicate. It is a white mineral free flowing powder, well known for its typical spherical form. By means of a special crystallization process and controlled crystal growth, spherical particles are obtained. The result is an open inner structure surrounded by an outer shell of close knitted crystals. This unique particle corresponds with the known mineral Xonotlite Ca6Si6O17(OH)2.

PROMAXON® Advantages
  • PROMAXON® is an ideal carrier for dry liquid systems
  • PROMAXON® is easy to disperse and regulates thixotropy
  • In composites PROMAXON® provokes a better opening of the fibres (e.g. aramide), reduces mixing time, prevents fibreagglomeration and improves shrinkage
  • PROMAXON® extends physical and mechanical properties over a wide temperature field
  • PROMAXON® is environmental friendly, non toxic with excellent health and safety reports
  • PROMAXON® is a thixotropic agent and/or an antisettle agent
  • PROMAXON® contributes a better shrinkage control of the material matrix
  • PROMAXON® is an excellent parting agent for tacky granulates, such as rubber polyester
