Fumed Silica Pigment for Coating and Mining Industry

Seeking for one of the best fumed silica manufacturers in the market? Fumed Silica is one of the commonly used as ingredients in the coatings of ink papers because of its capability to provide a coating layer structure that combines a high pore volume into which all the applied ink can transfer and a suitable pore size distribution for very quick ink absorption. Nowadays, the production of Fumed Silica pigment is quite expensive which therefore would be advantageous to find a cheaper raw material source.

 

Find the cheaper raw material source

In this study of Fumed Silica, the raw material used was Greek olivine from magnetite mine side streams. The Fumed Silica pigment was produced at laboratory scale by using quality nitric acid as a solvent. The mission of this process was to clarify how this produced Fumed Silica pigment is suited for ink coating pigments. Afterwards, the coating colours were applied with the help of laboratory rod coater on fine base paper and white-top kraftliner, and therefore the coated surfaces were printed with a home and office area ink printer.

 

Result for produced Fumed Silica

The results of produced Fumed Silica showed that the pigment has a potential in matt inkjet coatings. The coating of the produced Fumed Silica pigment increased the print density, decreased the print-through, and diminished the bleeding of fine paper. However, further development work in the process is needed to improve the Fumed Silica pigment brightness to a more acceptable level, and to further control the particle size at the nitric acid dissolution.
