Product Introduction: Aluminum Silicate (CAS #: 12007-41-9)

Aluminum silicate, with the CAS number 12007-41-9, is a widely used inorganic compound that finds applications across numerous industries. Its chemical composition can be generally expressed as Al₂SiO₅, though it may exist in various forms depending on the specific crystalline structure and ratio of aluminum to silicon oxides. This compound is renowned for its exceptional stability and diverse functional properties, making it an indispensable material in many manufacturing and processing sectors.

Chemical and Physical Properties

Aluminum silicate boasts a set of distinctive characteristics that contribute to its broad utility:

Appearance: It typically presents as a white or off-white fine powder or granular solid, with a smooth texture.

Melting Point: It has an extremely high melting point, usually above 1500°C, which endows it with excellent heat resistance.

Density: The density ranges from approximately 2.6 to 2.8 g/cm³, offering a good balance between weight and structural integrity.

Solubility: It is insoluble in water, alcohol, and most common organic solvents, ensuring stability in aqueous and non-aqueous environments.

Hardness: With a relatively high hardness, it exhibits good abrasion and wear resistance.

Key Applications

The versatility of aluminum silicate (CAS 12007-41-9) allows it to be employed in a wide array of fields:

Construction Industry: It is a key component in the production of refractory materials, such as fire bricks and insulation boards, due to its high heat resistance. It is also used in cement and concrete formulations to enhance their strength and durability.

Paints and Coatings: As a functional filler, it improves the viscosity, opacity, and weather resistance of paints, primers, and coatings. It helps reduce the cost of the final product while maintaining or enhancing its performance.

Plastics and Rubber: Added to plastic and rubber products, it acts as a reinforcing agent, increasing their tensile strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability. This makes it suitable for use in automotive parts, electrical components, and packaging materials.

Ceramics Manufacturing: It serves as an important raw material in the production of ceramics, contributing to the fired strength, thermal shock resistance, and glaze quality of ceramic products.

Personal Care and Cosmetics: In skincare and cosmetic products, it functions as an absorbent, anti-caking agent, and texture modifier, providing a smooth and silky feel to powders, creams, and lotions

Safety and Handling

Aluminum silicate is generally regarded as a low-toxicity material, but proper handling practices are still essential to ensure safety:

When working with the powder form, avoid inhalation by using appropriate respiratory protection, especially in poorly ventilated areas.

Prevent direct contact with eyes and skin; wear protective gloves and safety glasses.

Store it in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouse, away from moisture, strong acids, and other incompatible substances.
