The application of white corundum in the coating industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Wear resistance
White corundum has high hardness (Mohs 9.0), which can significantly improve the wear resistance of coatings and is suitable for high wear environments such as industrial floors and ship decks.
2. Corrosion resistance
Its strong chemical stability can enhance the corrosion resistance of coatings and is suitable for corrosive environments such as chemical equipment and marine facilities.
3. Enhanced adhesion
As a filler, white corundum can improve the adhesion between coatings and substrates and extend the life of coatings. It is often used on metal and concrete surfaces.
4. Improve gloss and texture
White corundum particles are uniform, which can improve the gloss and texture of coatings and is suitable for decorative coatings such as furniture and building exteriors.
5. Anti-slip performance
Added to anti-slip coatings, white corundum can increase friction and is suitable for places that require anti-slip, such as stairs and parking lots.
6. High temperature resistance
White corundum is resistant to high temperatures and is suitable for coatings in high temperature environments, such as boilers and chimneys.
7. Environmental protection
White corundum is non-toxic and harmless, meets environmental protection requirements, and is suitable for environmentally friendly coatings.
