American Tripoli C-15 Cream-Colored Fine Powder - 98.33% Pure Silicon Dioxide - Industrial & Pharmaceutical (1.0)
Cream 15–Least Cut (finest mirror color) Typically used in polyolefin purging compounds. Also, used as a less abrasive, higher impact & flexural strength producing silica material in a molded epoxy.
Due to its inert nature and its fine-grained texture, Tripoli has numerous applications, mainly as an abrasive in polishing, buffing, and burnishing compounds; in scouring soaps and powders; a filler or extender in plastics, rubber, and sealants like caulks and epoxy resins; and a pigment in paints. It also improves the coating and flow of paints.
As an additive in Portland cement, it enhances the product’s strength and washability. Firing tests on tripoli blocks have shown its potential as a high-quality lightweight aggregate.
Small quantities are also used in glass-making, ceramics, insulation for small furnaces, making heat-resisting enamel for stove and other minor uses.
