1. Physical property enhancement
(1) Filling and thickening: The flaky crystal structure of dolomite powder can increase the thixotropy of the coating and reduce the sagging phenomenon, which is especially suitable for thick paste waterproof coatings.
(2) Balance of hardness and toughness: In wood coatings, dolomite powder can make the surface hardness of the coating reach 3H while maintaining flexibility, solving the pain point of traditional coatings being "hard and brittle".
2. Improved chemical stability
(1) pH adjustment: In vinyl coatings, dolomite powder can neutralize acidic substances, prevent the coating from yellowing and powdering, and extend the outdoor service life to more than 15 years.
(2) Corrosion resistance upgrade: After modification with silane coupling agent, dolomite powder can enhance the coating's tolerance to salt water and acid rain, and is particularly outstanding in marine engineering coatings.
3. Highlighting environmental value
(1) Low-carbon substitution: Compared with traditional fillers (such as heavy calcium), dolomite powder production energy consumption is reduced by 20%, and the amount of titanium dioxide can be reduced by 30%, helping enterprises to manage their carbon footprint. (2) Recycling: Dolomite powder in waste coatings can be recovered through magnetic separation, achieving a closed-loop resource system and complying with the EU REACH regulation’s requirements for a circular economy.
