Fyllstoffene

Fyllstoffene, also known as fillers or extenders, are substances used in the production of plastics, paints, and other materials to modify their physical properties. They are typically added to increase the volume of the material, reduce costs, or improve specific characteristics such as flow, strength, or durability. Common types of fyllstoffene include calcium carbonate, talc, and silica. Calcium carbonate is a widely used filler due to its low cost and ability to improve the mechanical properties of plastics. Talc, a soft, white mineral, is often used in paints and coatings to provide a smooth finish and improve flow. Silica, in the form of precipitated silica, is used to enhance the strength and durability of plastics. The choice of fyllstoffene depends on the specific requirements of the final product and the desired properties. Proper selection and use of fyllstoffene are crucial for achieving the desired performance and quality of the end material.
