Coatings & Construction
Coatings & ConstructionVanderbilt Minerals, LLC offers a variety of mineral fillers for coatings and construction applications.
VANSIL® Wollastonite is a high brightness, white calcium metasilicate mineral mined and processed in Upstate New York. The acicular nature of VANSIL provides superior functionality over isotropic fillers, such as silica and carbonates. PYRAX® Pyrophyllite is a unique natural mixture of platy silicates, principally pyrophyllite, and quartz. This natural blend of platy and granular particles provides good reinforcement and abrasion resistance. DIXIE CLAY®, McNAMEE® Clay and BILT-PLATES® 156 air-floated kaolin clay is used as a reinforcing filler in a variety of coatings and construction applications. DARVAN® Dispersing Agents are highly effective dispersants for mineral pigments and fillers in water-borne paints. ACTIV-8® Drier Stabilizer and Accelerator is used to improve dry times in paints and coatings that dry by oxidative polymerization. VEEGUM® Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, VAN GEL® Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, and VANZAN® Xanthan Gum products are rheology control agents for aqueous systems.

VANZAN® Xanthan Gum is widely used as a rheology control agent for aqueous systems. It increases viscosity, helps to stabilize emulsions, and prevents the settling of solids in coatings and construction applications.
VAN GEL® Magnesium Aluminum Silicate products are industrial grades of naturally occurring colloidal smectite clay that produces uniform thixotropic aqueous dispersions at low concentrations.
