Boehmite is an alumina monohydrate flame retardant and functional filler for high temperature plastics and other applications. ALUPREM® boehmite applications include catalysts, automotive coatings, composites, lithium-ion battery electrodes and separators (LIBS), printed circuit boards (PCB), hydrophobic gelcoats for marine and sanitaryware applications, and ceramic pigments.
TOR Minerals International has developed a range of several submicron boehmite qualities from 0.2µm up to 6µm. The uniform boehmite crystal structure combined with a tight particle size distribution (controlled top cut) are the basis for smooth, uniform coating. On request, we offer on top different kinds of organic coatings related to the application for water or solvent based systems.
