Magnesium carbonate is widely used in pigments. It not only serves as a pigment carrier to improve the dispersion and stability of the pigment, but also improves the construction performance and appearance of the pigment and improves the quality of the pigment products. At the same time, the special application of transparent and lightweight magnesium carbonate also provides more choices and possibilities for related industries.
1. As a pigment carrier
Magnesium carbonate can be used as a carrier of pigments, which can effectively improve the dispersion and stability of pigments. During the production and use of pigments, the fine particles of magnesium carbonate can provide a large specific surface area, which helps the uniform dispersion of pigment particles, thereby improving the pigment coloring power and brightness.
2. Improve pigment performance
The addition of magnesium carbonate can also improve the construction performance and appearance of the pigment. For example, in the coating industry, magnesium carbonate can be used as a thickening agent, a thixotropic agent and a matting agent. It can adjust the viscosity of the paint, making the paint easier to control during construction, and at the same time improve the thixotropy of the paint, improve the adhesion and scrubbing resistance of the paint. In addition, magnesium carbonate can also be used as a matting agent to reduce the gloss of the paint and meet the needs of specific decorative effects.
3. Improve the quality of pigment products
Magnesium carbonate can also play a role in improving quality in pigment products. For example, in ink production, magnesium carbonate can act as a filler and conditioner, which facilitates uniform dispersion and stable storage of the ink. In paint, the addition of magnesium carbonate can improve the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the paint and extend the service life of the paint.
4. Special application of transparent lightweight magnesium carbonate
Transparent lightweight magnesium carbonate is a special magnesium carbonate variety that has excellent transparency and reinforcement properties. In industries such as transparent or light-colored rubber products, paints, inks and coatings, transparent lightweight magnesium carbonate can be used as fillers and reinforcers. It can enhance the wear resistance, flexibility and tensile strength of the product, while not changing the refractive index of the product itself, and maintaining the transparency and aesthetics of the product.
