Thickener filler

Prethickening of liltcr feeds can be done with a variety of equipment such as gravity thickeners, hydrocyclones, or sedimenting centrifuges. Even cuke fillers can be designed to limit or completely eliminate cake formation and therefore act as thickening fillers and be used in this thickening duty,... 

Thickeners, fillers, and thixotropic agents are also commonly used to control flow and the bond line s thickness within a joint. Scrims, carriers, and woven reinforcements are other methods commonly used to control bond line thickness. 

Use In rubber, plastic thickener filler, and smoke suppressant.

The properties of unsaturated polyesters are also modified by a host of additives, such as thixotropic agents, chemical thickeners, fillers or extenders, fire-retardant chemicals, glass-fiber, and other reinforcement. A discussion of these areas is beyond the scope of this book. Most of this technology is disclosed in the extensive polyester patent literature. However, many books and review articles on polyester, " as well as manufacturers product literature, give good coverage of the subject.

Cyanoacrylate adhesives are extremely sensitive to traces of impurities, and must be manufactured, stored and used under controlled conditions. Basic impurities or contaminants can seriously affect the shelf-life or stability of the adhesives conversely, acidic materials can slow down or completely inhibit curing. Peroxides or free-radical stabilisers in a potential additive can also seriously affect performance. Because of the sensitivity to contaminants, it is not possible to formulate cyanoacrylates with the wide range of thickeners, fillers and other additives available to formulators of other adhesive systems.

Another important application of NR is for bonding ceramic tiles, although it needs special compounding with clay filler and cellulose thickener. Water-borne NR adhesives can also be used for bonding canvas and leather shoes and interior trim in some automotive applications. 

Other components in PVAc-formulations are defoamers, stabilizers, filler dispersants, preservatives, thickeners (hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellu-lose), polyvinyl alcohols, starch, wetting agents, tackifiers, solvents (alcoholes, ketone, esters), flame retardants and others. 

Starches are added to processed meats—lunch meats, hot dogs, sausages, etc.—as fillers, binders, moisture retainers, and fat substitutes. They are added to soups, sauces, and gravies as thickeners. They are used in extruded cereals and snacks to hold the shape of the material. 

Natural or synthetic, mostly low-MW molecules that reduce or suppress microbe populations in plastics. Specialised products (both organic and inorganic) which tend to be used most in plasticised materials such as PVC and polyurethanes, as well as in rubber articles. The main cause of microbial growth is the additives themselves plasticisers, starch fillers, lubricants, thickening agents and oils. 

A colloidal clay used as a thickener in latex compounding and as a filler in dry rubber compounding the reaction of bentonite with amines has produced several useful rubber reinforcing fillers. 

There are also hundreds of additives used as process aids to improve such things as air release, cure rate, thickening, viscosity reduction, mold release, wetting and dispersion of fillers, thixotropy, shrinkage and static reduction. 

Isooiefin Polymers of molecular wt 50000 to 100000, such as Isobutylene polymer, were patented as thickeners for flammable naphtha used in incendiary bomb mixts. Up to 25% may be incorporated. Small amts of metal soaps may replace part of the polymer. Thermite mixts, Na, K and P may also be included in such an incendiary filler Ref H.H. Cooke, E. J. Holzclaw, USP s 2445311 2445312 (1948) CA 42, 7985 (1948)...
