SiLibeads® Ceramic Beads
Proven in a wide variety of applications, e.g. as grinding beads in agitator bead mills for the finest comminution and dispersion of pigments, paints, minerals and ceramic powders.
Type ZS
Zirconium silicate ceramic beads – sintered beads
The sintered beads have a very dense, homogeneous structure due to the special production method. All grinding systems therefore exhibit significantly better wear behavior than conventional zirconium silicate beads.
Fields of application
Paint and varnish industry:
- grinding ink and coating systems in the medium viscosity range, mostly water-based systems.
- grinding dyes for dyeing textiles and plastics
- grinding inorganic and organic pigments.
Plant protection:
- dispersing fungicides, herbicides and insecticides.
Filler and coating industry:
- preparation of whiteners (CaCO3) for paper production.
- for grinding coatings for video and audio tapes.
Mining industry:
- for grinding minerals and precious metals
Advantages
- dense sintered structure
- smooth surface
