Functional Mineral for Elastomers
HIFILL® N
Meet OSHA regulations with HIFILL N - the industry’s safest HS&E profile with no detectable level of free crystalline silica.
GROW YOUR BUSINESS WITH THE SAFER FUNCTIONAL MINERAL
Made from nepheline syenite, HIFILL N is the crystalline silica-free alternative to ground or microcrystalline silica mineral fillers typically used in silicone elastomeric applications. Formulators have been adopting HIFILL N due to stricter OSHA regulations on respiratory crystalline silica (RCS). No labelling is required for plastics and elastomers products dusted with HIFILL N. This safe polymer additive is also FDA approved for indirect food-contact applications up to 50% by weight. Besides these safety factors, customers are switching formulas to HIFILL N from crystalline silica because of the similar high dielectric resistance, thermal conductivity, and compressive strength with easy masterbatch processing.
No detectable levels of free crystalline silica, improved industrial hygiene.
FDA approved for indirect food contact applications up to 50% by weight.
