Composite

A composite is a heterogenic material created from the macroscopic mixture of two or more different materials with the aim of improving specific properties of the product. Hydrated alumina and Whitelum play important roles in this composition, each with its own unique characteristics.

Hydrated alumina is widely used in composites due to its properties as a flame retardant, releasing water when heated, which reduces the flammability of materials. Additionally, hydrated alumina acts as a reinforcement, improving the mechanical strength of composites and increasing its durability and structural stability. Its high purity minimizes the presence of contaminants, ensuring consistent and reliable performance. The chemical stability of hydrated alumina protects composites against degradation in harsh environments, while its ability to efficiently disperse in the composite matrix results in uniform mixing and improved mechanical properties.

Whitelum white pigment complements these properties by providing excellent white color, uniformity and high resistance to UV rays. Its incorporation into composites not only improves the aesthetics of the final product, but also contributes to maintaining color stability over time, resulting in high-performance composites, with excellent durability and superior appearance.
