Vanderbilt Minerals, LLC offers a variety of mineral fillers for coatings and construction applications. VANSIL® Wollastonite is a high brightness, white calcium metasilicate mineral mined and processed in Upstate New York. The acicular nature of VANSIL provides superior functionality over isotropic fillers, such as silica and carbonates. PYRAX® Pyrophyllite is a unique natural mixture of platy silicates, principally pyrophyllite, and quartz. This natural blend of platy and granular particles provides good reinforcement and abrasion resistance. DIXIE CLAY®, McNAMEE® Clay and BILT-PLATES® 156 air-floated kaolin clay is used as a reinforcing filler in a variety of coatings and construction applications. DARVAN® Dispersing Agents are highly effective dispersants for mineral pigments and fillers in water-borne paints. ACTIV-8® Drier Stabilizer and Accelerator is used to improve dry times in paints and coatings that dry by oxidative polymerization. VEEGUM® Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, VAN GEL® Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, and VANZAN® Xanthan Gum products are rheology control agents for aqueous systems.
