Fiberglass
ALTIFIL™ FG products are engineered aluminum silicate minerals with low iron and low alkali for the production of fiberglass. They are a source of both alumina and silica, replacing both kaolin clay and silica in the E-Glass process. They also offer an energy savings and yield increasing alternative to kaolin and sand, improves furnace operations, and represents significant cost savings and performance improvement. Due to the removal of sand in the batches, there is an improved batch-to-melt conversion efficiency and reduced energy conversion. They also provide good mechanical properties and low melting temperatures, and the chemical inertness of pyrophyllite ensures high chemical stability.
Features include:
- Reduced LOI
- Elimination of sand in batches
- Reduces energy consumption
- Improved batch-to-melt conversion efficiency
