Wollastonite is a natural occurring calcium silicate that is formed at about 450°C. The structure of the wollastonite particles depends not only on natural conditions but also to a large extent on the preparation techniques employed. Using specific processing technologies HPF wollastonite powders with particle structures from nearly block-like with a low aspect ratio (LAR) to exceptional acicular structures with a high aspect ratio (HAR) can be produced.
TREMIN 939-products: acicular particles (aspect ratio 8:1) HAR
TREMIN 283-products: granular particles (aspect ratio 3:1) LAR
