| Product Description: Mansil® ZX is a precipitated, synthetic sodium aluminum silicate. ZX is a semi-reinforcing filler for use in all types of elastomeric compounds to provide a broad range of properties. Mansil® ZX exhibits excellent process features for extruded and molded articles. Applications: Mansil® ZX offers unique processing characteristics for finished articles as a mid-range filler. Mansil® ZX serves as a semi-reinforcing filler with moderate abrasion resistance and good processing properties at a suitable price point. Mansil® ZX works well in the production of extruded goods, where surface smoothness is required. In addition, the high whiteness value of Mansil® ZX is ideal for non-black articles. The typical dosage range is from 10 to 150 phr. The ability of Mansil® ZX to absorb large quantities of process oils, cause it to be the product of choice for highly extended EPDM compounds. This characteristic causes Mansil® ZX to serve as an essential formulating asset in the polymer chemist’s tool belt. In addition, Mansil® ZX is typically paired in concert with many of the other commonly utilized extender materials. Information provided by Akrochem Corporation |
