surface treatment

Could a modification of your least expensive ingredient enable you to meet your formulating goals?

Consider using surface-treated minerals and/or silica from Huber Engineered Materials

Huber scientists have over 30 years experience modifying the surface chemistry of inorganic materials. Not only do we chemically treat our own products, but we also apply treatments for other companies on a toll-manufacturing basis. Our Controlled Function Technology® product modification has led to many new innovations for compounders.

We create products that provide superior dispersion as well as improved processing and handling characteristics. Coupling mineral/inorganic components with the resin system through the use of hydrophobic and/or reactive surfacemodifiers can result in IMPROVED:

Water resistance • Impact resistance • Chemical resistance • Exterior durability • Film integrity • Electrical Properties • And a more cohesive pigment-binder interface
