What it does

Wollastonite — naturally acicular (needle-shaped) calcium metasilicate. Used as a functional filler in plastics, coatings, ceramics and friction materials where reinforcement, low oil-absorption and low moisture content matter.

Typical applications

  • Reinforcement in PA, PBT and PP engineering plastics
  • Functional filler in primers and industrial paints
  • Ceramic body and glaze (frit replacement)
  • Brake-lining and friction-material formulations

Serica execution notes

  • Aspect ratio explicitly verified — this is the value that drives reinforcement performance in engineering plastics.
  • Optional silane pre-treatment (typically aminosilane) bundled from the same Serica supply.
  • DDP to gate.

Pricing, MOQs, lead-times and producer identities are quoted per buyer.
