potassium titanate whisker
Aspect: White powder
SEM appearance: Fibrous crystal
Whisker Size: Length of 10~100um diameter of 0.1~1um
Mohs hardness: 4
Excellent reflection and absorption capacity in infra-red region, without noise and resistant to high temperature, excellent stability and mechanical function.
Excellent friction properties:
1. The friction coefficients can keep stable from room to high temperature, which assure smoothness of braking.
2. The wear of itself is small in high heat area and doesn't damage the brake disk.
3. There is hardly any friction noise during braking.
The main use of the potassium titanate whisker
As reinforcing agent of plastic composites: It can reinforce the plastic composites and improve mechanical performance of plastic which is used as various fine parts with high strength, heat resistance and wearresistance.
As friction control agent: Used in the ceramic brake pads for automobile, the brake tile for train and clutch piece etc.
As heat-resistant paint made of this material mixed with silicic resin. Because of excellent stability and without public harm, be widely used in spacecraft, mechanics and petrochemical technology etc.
