Part 5: Application guideline

5.1 Application of refractory industry

Aluminum sol has adhesiveness, film-forming property and heat resistance. It can be used as binder for inorganic fibers such as glass fiber, asbestos and ceramics, and can be sprayed arbitrarily. It can also be mixed with refractory powder or inorganic fiber to prepare high-temperature refractory.

5.2 Application of inorganic refractory fiber cotton industry

As an aluminum source, the aluminum sol has a certain viscosity, and the fiber embryo is formed through the wire throwing process. After high temperature heat treatment, various inorganic refractory fiber cotton containing alumina are obtained, such as alumina fiber, aluminum silicate fiber, high silica alumina fiber, etc.

5.3 Application of aerogel industry

As an aluminum source, it can form aluminum oxide hydrogels, or compounded with silicon oxide to form alumina/silica oxide composite hydrogel. After drying, the hydrogels are transfer into aerogels, the aluminum could enhance the rigidity and temperature resistance of aerogels.

5.4 Application of petrochemical industry

As a precursor, aluminum sol can be used to prepare catalyst support or molecular sieve of activated alumina, high-purity alumina and alumina series, etc.

5.5 Application of textile fiber industry

Treatment of textile fibers to improve fiber elasticity, smoothness, antistatic and anti-dust absorption. Handle fishing nets and climbing ropes, increase friction coefficient, improve strength and impact resistance, etc.

5.6 Application of industrial cloth and fluff industry

Coating a layer of aluminum sol on the surface of industrial filter cloth or fluff can make it antistatic, improve the smoothness and hand feel of the material, and increase the firmness and wear resistance.

5.7 Application of ceramic industry

Aluminum sol has fire resistance, adhesion and film-forming ability. Adding it to ceramic appliances can increase the green body strength, and then it can be made into various ceramic products through molding, calcination processes.

5.8 Application of paper industry

As an inorganic filler and binder, aluminum sol is used in paper industry, which can improve the strength, smoothness, whiteness and moisture resistance of paper.

5.9 Application of coating industry

Adding aluminum sol into all kinds of acrylic, polyurethane, epoxy, vinyl acetate or silicone acrylic coatings, it can improve the strength, hardness, heat resistance and antistatic property of coatings.

5.10 Application of other industries

Boehmite AlOOH could be used to improve battery material and diaphragm, to enhance battery capacity and service life. It is used for polishing the surface of ceramic tiles and plates to obtain a transparent and smooth object surface. It also could be used in cosmetics, ointment, etc.
