ASP 802 is a coarse particle size, delaminated grade of aluminum silicate. It has a high aspect ratio, is chemically inert and has been specially modified with dispersants for ease of dispersion. ASP 802's delaminated structure improves stain resistance and washability. It also improves mud-crack resistance while reducing porosity. It provides synergistic properties when used in combination with other materials. The delaminated platelets make ASP 802 ideal for applications requiring barrier resistance. ASP 802 is suitable for the advanced materials industry due to its ability to improve properties such as stain resistance, washability, mud-crack resistance and porosity. These benefits help enhance performance of advanced material formulations.
