Aluminum powder.

Aluminum powder PAP-1 and PAP-2, like many other aluminum powders, are widely used in various industries.
The powder is a silver-gray product that does not contain foreign impurities visible to the naked eye.

Aluminum powder has special (in comparison with compact materials) properties, which are explained by the surface properties of dispersed materials. Powders, granules, including aluminum powder are widely used in metallurgy, construction, nuclear, military equipment, chemistry, energy, and other industries.
Aluminum powders are a high-energy additive, used in mining, ferrous metallurgy, chemical industry, paint industry, etc.

Application of aluminum powder in various industries.

1. The paint industry.
The paint industry is the main consumer of such chemical products as aluminum powder. Aluminum powder is used as a coloring and protective pigment, which is added to the composition of paints, enamels, as well as varnishes, thereby giving the paint a silvery hue, and protecting them from the environment. Aluminum powder is widely used as a filler in resin-based plastics, as well as added to plastics, rubber, etc.

2. Construction industry.
Aluminum powder is used in the construction industry as a gas producer in the production of cellular concrete. Wide use of cellular concrete is due to their lightness, high thermal and sound insulation ability with good strength.

3. Ceramics.
Aluminum powder is used in the manufacture of ceramic parts, to reduce the wear of the molds (enveloping the granules of the press powder with powder particles).

The aluminum particles in the powder have a plate shape and are covered with a thin oxide and fat film. The powder is a lightweight product of silvery-gray color that does not contain foreign impurities visible to the naked eye. The bulk density of powder is about 0.15-0.30 g / cm3, the content of active aluminum is 85-93%. The average thickness of the petals is approximately 0.25-0.50 μm, and the average linear size is 20-30 μm. The bulk density of powder, the content of active aluminum and the average particle size are not regulated.

The main physical and chemical characteristics of PAP powder must meet the requirements of GOST 5494-95 .
