Filler Applications:
A-Fibe is used in many applications as a thickening and conditioning agent, processing aid, reinforcing filler and as a source of non-digestible fiber.
Pet
Food: Used in both dry and wet (canned) diets as a source
of dietary fiber. Contains no
calories, fat, carbohydrates, odor or flavor. USDA approved.
Paints: Used in latex paints to control splattering while increasing resistance to cracking.
Building Products: Used to provide a texture finish to walls and ceilings. Used in caulks and spackling compounds to reduce shrinkage while providing increased strength.
Rubber: Used in footwear (soles, heels), V-belts, sealing compounds and floor tiles to increase hardness and tearing strength while reducing shrinkage and weight.
Plastic: Used in phenolics, ureas, melamines, polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride to improve strength, moldability and dimensional stability while controlling shrinkage and warpage.
Filtration Applications:
A-Fibe is used both in beverage and industrial filtration. It is an excellent filter aid because it precoats quickly, provides good cake stability, cleans quickly, prevents bleed-through and can be burned to reduce disposal costs.
Alkaline Filtration: Used when soluble silica threatens the filtrate.
Condensate and Boiler Feed Filtration: Used to remove insoluble metallic impurities and oil.
Rare Earth and Metallic Ore Filtrations: Filter cake can be burned to recover product.
Beverage Filtrations: Prevents filter aid bleed-through.
Emulsion Filtrations: Absorbs oil and breaks emulsions to prevent contamination of screens.
Petroleum Filtrations: Removes emulsified water.
Plating Filtrations: Removes solids without threat of contaminating filtrate with soluble silica.
